The Costco problem, solved

You and your roommate go to Costco. You buy 15 things. Some are shared (toilet paper, dish soap), some are yours (dog food, your favorite cereal), and some are theirs (protein powder, face wash).

Splitting the total 50/50? Unfair. But doing the math for 15 items? Nobody has time for that.

Item by item fixes this in seconds.

Add each item, tag who it belongs to (or mark it as shared), and we calculate each person's exact share. Tax gets split proportionally. No spreadsheet, no arguments, no "I think I owe you around $40."

How It Works

Tax and tip are split proportionally

When you itemize, tax and tip are distributed based on each person's subtotal. If you owe 60% of the items, you pay 60% of the tax and tip. Mathematically fair, automatically calculated.

Your items$60.00 (60%)
Sarah's items$40.00 (40%)
Tax ($10.00)You: $6.00 — Sarah: $4.00
Tip ($20.00)You: $12.00 — Sarah: $8.00
TotalYou: $78.00 — Sarah: $52.00

Works with every input method

Whether you use Quick Add, receipt scanning, email logging, or manual entry — you can always choose one total or item by item.

Split it the way that's actually fair.
