About this calculator

Split a shared grocery receipt fairly between roommates or family members based on who consumes which items.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I split grocery bills fairly with roommates?

Separate the shared communal items (like paper towels or cooking staples) from individual items, split the shared portion equally, and add back each person's individual purchases.

What if people buy very different amounts of individual items?

Track individual purchases separately and only split the truly shared portion of the bill to keep things fair.

Should shared items always be split evenly?

Even splitting works well for most roommate situations, but you can also weight by consumption if some people eat much more than others.
