Read full description

Its common to split the bill equally when you are with your friends but in a country like Japan, there are times where you split the bill by ratio depending on how much each individual has consumed (The person that drank the most, pays the most). The question is, 'How much should we split?'Usually in Japan, when we are in such situation, we would calculate it based on our instinct but that can be a hassle, especially when you drink too much. This App aims to help those who have hard time calculating when they want to split the bill among members based on ratio.With this app, you can avoid that tedious calculation and spend that time drinking.From sigles date to business dinners, this can be applied to multiple areas.

Split fair, not just even. Tabello does the math for splits that aren't actually even. Someone arrives late on a trip. The non-drinker skips the bar tab. A couple settles as one unit. Each case works automatically — no spreadsheet, no manual workaround. — HOW THE SPLITS WORK — Pro-rating by dates Trip Friday to Sunday, but Alex arrives Saturday morning? Tabello pro-rates Alex's share. Category opt-out Non-drinker on the trip? One toggle and the bar tab redistributes to everyone else. They're back in for the next group dinner. Settlement groups Traveling as a couple, or splitting bills as a household? Group yourselves into a single settlement unit. Instead of four transfers between two pairs, one household pays the other. Per-category split policies Rent 60/40 because the rooms are different sizes. Utilities 50/50. Groceries 55/45. Tabello remembers the ratio per category. Change a policy and past expenses recalculate. — EVERY WAY TO SPLIT — Even, pro-rated, manual weights, manual values, proportional to subtotal, and per-expense overrides. Whatever the situation needs. — THE EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS — Scan a receipt Point your camera at a restaurant bill or store receipt. Tabello extracts the line items; you assign dishes to whoever ordered them. Tax and tip distribute proportionally to each person's subtotal. Connect your bank (US & Canada accounts) Link via Plaid and import real transactions. No manual entry, no exporting CSVs from your bank's website. Add people before they sign up Friends get a secure invite link with their balance already waiting. They can see expenses in the browser — no install required, no account needed. Multi-currency Log expenses in any currency, view balances in yours. Real-time exchange rates. Optimized settle-up The minimum number of payments to zero everyone out. Private trackers and roles Mark a tracker as private. Share it read-only when you want people to see balances but not change them, or invite contributors with full edit access. — BUILT FOR — Trips with mismatched arrival and departure dates. Households where the rooms aren't the same size. Couples and families who'd rather settle as one. Roommates with recurring rent, utilities, and groceries. Groups where not everyone shares every category. Looking for a Splitwise, Tricount, or Settle Up alternative? Tabello is built for the splits that aren't actually even.
