You just got dinner with your friends but now it's time to figure out who owes what. Some people shared appetizers but Brett's really not trying to spend too much this month so he wants you to make sure he's only charged for his dish. You pull out a calculator and start doing MATH Usually my friend Jimmy does the math for me, but I don't always have Jimmy. Split's my replacement Jimmy - just upload a receipt, mark who got what, add the total amount (with tax and tip), and Split will show you how much each person owes. No more math!
