‘Tax’ is meant for the tax implemented in the restaurant shown in your bill. For SplitNow, ‘Tax’ is calculated based on each individual’s total expenses and multiplied with the percentage of your input. An example would be:

In a bill of two friends, Sally and Jason,
Sally has a total of $5.00;
Jason has a total of $7.50;
After applying 6% of Tax, Sally’s total will become $5.30. From her own total amount, calculated Tax is $0.30.
After applying 6% of Tax, Jason’s total will become $7.95. From his own total amount, calculated Tax is $0.45.
For ‘Other Charges’, it actually meant any form of extra charges such as Service Charges, Tips, Corkage Fees and etc. For SplitNow, we calculated ‘Other Charges’ based on each individual’s total expenses and multiplied with the percentage of your input.
Taking the same example above,

If the restaurant Sally and Jason went has 10% of service charge,
Sally’s total $5.00;
After applying 10% to ‘Other Charges’, calculated service charge is $0.50;
Now Sally’s grand total including Tax and Service Charge will be $5.00 + $0.30(Tax) + $0.50(O.C) = $5.80
In a bill, sometimes there are discounts and SplitNow helps you split discounts among your groups. A simple example on how this works, A group of 5 has a $10.00 discount on their total bill, each person will get an equal $2.00 discount on their individual total.

However, there are cases where the discount cannot be equally distributed to each individual. SplitNow will randomly choose someone in a group to bear the minimal difference depending on the amount. A simple example on this,
A group of 3 has a $10.00 discount on their total bill, therefore SplitNow will calculate the discount portion as $3.33, $3.33, and $3.34. One randomly selected person from the group will have a $3.34 discount on their individual total, and the others will have a $3.33 discount on their individual total.
SplitNow will save previously entered tax for your convenience. Therefore, you can change this by entering the ‘Tax Settings’ screen and modify the tax value.
