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 6 people:
| Person | Order | Equal Split | Fair Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alex | $28.00 | $20.00 | $33.60 |
| Jordan | $14.72 | $20.00 | $17.66 |
| Sam | $17.00 | $20.00 | $20.40 |
| Riley | $15.27 | $20.00 | $18.32 |
| Taylor | $14.40 | $20.00 | $17.28 |
| Casey | $30.61 | $20.00 | $36.73 |

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 $24.00, round to $24.00. 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.
- Check for auto-gratuity. Many restaurants add 18% automatically for parties of 6+. Don't double-tip.
