Splitting group bills fairly

Evenly, or by what you had.

4 min read

Splitting the bill evenly is easy, but not always fair if you ordered less.

Options

  • Ask for separate checks when you order
  • Split evenly when everyone's orders are similar
  • Pay for what you had, plus your share of tax and tip
  • Agree before ordering if someone isn't drinking

Payment apps

Only send money to people you know, and double-check usernames. Payments to the wrong person can be hard to get back.
