Bill splitting is the process of dividing a total expense equally among a group of people. This calculator helps determine how much each person should pay when sharing costs for meals, trips, or other group expenses.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• \( Total \) — Total amount to be split
• \( n \) — Number of people sharing the cost

Q5: Can this calculator handle decimal amounts?
A: Yes, the calculator supports decimal values for both total amount and will provide precise split amounts rounded to two decimal places.
