What makes a bill split "fair"?

A fair split means each person pays based on what they actually consumed or their ability to pay, rather than just dividing equally.

How do I choose between equal and proportional?

Choose equal if everyone ordered similarly. Choose proportional if orders varied significantly—this way, the person who ordered a salad doesn't subsidize someone's steak.

Can I factor in different incomes?

Yes! Switch to income-based mode to weight each person's contribution based on their earnings for a truly equitable split.

What if someone didn't eat?

Simply set that person's share to zero or remove them from the split. They won't be charged anything.
