1. What is the Split Bill Calculator With Tax Refund?

The Split Bill Calculator With Tax Refund is a tool designed to fairly divide expenses among multiple people, taking into account the total bill amount, applicable taxes, and any refunds or discounts that may apply to the total amount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Total \) — Total bill amount before tax and refunds ($)
• \( Tax \) — Total tax amount applied to the bill ($)
• \( Refund \) — Any refunds, discounts or credits applied ($)
• \( Number \) — Number of people splitting the bill

Explanation: This formula calculates the fair share each person should pay by first determining the net amount (total + tax - refund) and then dividing it equally among all participants.

3. Importance of Accurate Bill Splitting
