Splitting
How Split rounds
€100 divided by three doesn't come out even. Split still works to the cent – without losing a cent or charging one too many.

Step by step
- 1
Work out the shares
Split divides the amount in the chosen proportion and first rounds each share down to whole cents.
- 2
Share the leftover cents
The cents left over go to the people with the largest remainder – on a tie, to those higher up in the list. So with €100 divided by three, one person pays €33.34 and two pay €33.33.

Check the total
The shares always add up exactly to the total. That's also why all balances always add up to zero.
Good to know
- This applies to “Equally” and “By shares”. With “Exact amounts” you set every cent yourself.
- For currencies without decimals, such as yen, Split works in whole units.
