Split a bill
A rent, a bill, a subscription: choose how to share it and see what everyone pays, to the cent.
Everything is worked out in your browser: nothing is sent, nothing is kept.
How it is worked out
In equal shares, the bill is divided by the number of people. In percentages, everyone pays their part of 100. In shares, everyone gets a number of shares, 2 for a couple and 1 for someone alone for instance, and the bill is divided in proportion. In fixed amounts, everyone pays the sum given, and the total must make the bill.
An amount does not always divide evenly: 100 € between three people is 33.333… €. The calculator rounds to the cent and gives the cent left over to someone, as fleen does in the app. The total paid is always exactly the bill.

Questions
What is the fairest way to share a rent?
There is no single one. Equal shares suit rooms and uses that are alike. Percentages or shares suit situations that differ. What matters is choosing together, and being able to change it the next month.
What happens to the cent left over?
It goes to one person, never lost: the shares always add up to the bill.
Can the ways of sharing be mixed?
In fleen, yes: every bill has its own split. The rent can be in percentages and the electricity in equal shares.
