What If Everyone Ordered Different Amounts?
Equal splitting is fast, but if one person had a $12 salad while another had a $45 steak, it's not exactly fair. Here's what a per-item split would look like on a $120 tab between 5 people:
| Person | Order | Equal Split | Fair Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alex | $33.60 | $24.00 | $40.32 |
| Jordan | $17.28 | $24.00 | $20.74 |
| Sam | $20.28 | $24.00 | $24.34 |
| Riley | $18.56 | $24.00 | $22.27 |
| Taylor | $30.28 | $24.00 | $36.34 |

Tips for Splitting a $120 Bill
- Decide before ordering. Agree on equal vs per-item before the food arrives to avoid awkwardness at the end.
- Split tax and tip proportionally. If you ordered 40% of the food, pay 40% of the tax and tip — not an equal share.
- Round up, not down. If each person's share is $28.80, round to $29.00. Servers prefer clean numbers and the difference is negligible.
- One person pays, others Venmo. Most restaurants prefer one payment. Have one person put their card down and collect from everyone else digitally.
