Details

Splitting a bill means dividing the total by the number of people. When the total does not divide evenly, a remainder is left over. How you handle that remainder depends on the situation, so this tool offers four options.

Choosing "leader pays the remainder" rounds the others down and has the leader cover the difference, so the collected amount matches the total exactly. This is handy for trip settlements or when one person handles the payment.

All calculations happen in your browser - the amounts you enter are never sent to a server. Results are shown in yen after rounding.

FAQ

How is the remainder handled?

Choose from round up, round down, round to nearest, or leader pays the remainder. With "leader pays," the others are rounded down and the leader covers the difference, so the total matches exactly.

Does this include tax?

The total you enter is expected to include tax. Just enter the tax-inclusive amount.

Can I split amounts that do not divide evenly?

Yes. When the total does not divide evenly, the rounding option determines the per-person amount in yen.

Are my amounts saved anywhere?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing is stored or transmitted.

All processing happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded.

Did you know?
