How the calculation works
Average share = total ÷ people. Round the total to currency minor units, divide whole minor units evenly, and give remaining units to the first people in the agreed order. Use a positive whole people count. Actual allocated shares add exactly to the rounded entered total. The displayed average can differ from some allocated payments by one currency minor unit. The tool splits an entered fare. It does not obtain route, meter, surge-pricing or local taxi-tariff data. Choose one currency for every monetary input. The selector labels and formats amounts; it does not apply an exchange rate. Money displays use the selected currency’s standard minor units, including whole yen for JPY. Exact decimal arithmetic precedes rounding; halfway minor units round away from zero. Numeric input/result magnitudes are bounded by 9,007,199,254,740,991.
