Splitip - Scan Receipts & Split Bills Fairly Stop overpaying when splitting restaurant bills. Splitip calculates exactly what you owe based on what you ordered—with tax and tip distributed proportionally, not equally. Now with receipt scanning so you don't have to type a thing. SCAN YOUR RECEIPTS Point your camera at any receipt and Splitip reads it instantly. OCR technology extracts every line item automatically—just review, assign items to people, and split. No more squinting at receipts or manually entering prices. TWO FLEXIBLE MODES Host Mode - Take charge of the bill Enter what everyone ordered or scan the receipt and assign items. Splitip instantly calculates each person's share including their proportional tax and tip. Generate a shareable summary showing exactly what everyone owes. Perfect for group dinners where one person is handling the bill. Self-Service Mode - Let everyone calculate their own Generate a shareable link where each person enters what they ordered. They instantly see their total including their fair share of tax and tip. No app download required for your friends—they just open the link. SMART CALCULATIONS The math is transparent: if you ordered 30% of the food, you pay 30% of the tax and tip. Simple, fair, and accurate.
