Formula Used

The money split calculator uses the following formulas to determine the split:

Equal Shares

For equal shares, the amount each person receives is calculated by dividing the total amount by the number of people:

Amount per person = Total Amount / Number of People

Percentage-Based Split

For percentage-based splits, the amount each person receives is calculated by multiplying the total amount by the percentage for that person:

Amount for person = Total Amount × (Percentage / 100)

Custom Amounts

For custom amounts, the calculator simply sums the custom amounts to ensure they match the total amount:

Total of custom amounts = Sum of all custom amounts

These formulas ensure that the money is split fairly according to the selected method.
