Amount Splitter
Enter your price list, then the amount to split. The tool finds item combinations (variable quantities) that add up to exactly that amount. Everything stays in your browser: nothing is sent to the server.

What is an amount splitter?
An amount splitter finds every combination of items — with variable quantities — whose total matches a given sum exactly. A typical case: a professional receives a cheque or payment, knows only the total and their price list, and wants to see which item mixes can explain that amount. The tool converts every price into cents to avoid rounding errors, groups items that share the same price (indistinguishable from the amount alone), then searches combinations without duplicating permutations. All of the work runs in your browser: the price list, the amount and the results are never sent to a server.
What is an amount splitter used for? 8 concrete use cases
Reconstruct an order from a cheque
You receive a payment and only know the total. Enter your price list to list the item mixes that add up to exactly that amount.
Recover the contents of an invoice
An invoice or credit note only shows the total. The splitter proposes possible combinations from your usual unit prices.
Explain a till receipt
A ticket or cash drawer shows an amount without line items. Test your prices to see which quantities can match.
Spend a voucher or credit note exactly
A voucher has a fixed value. Find baskets (variable quantities) that consume that amount with no remainder.
Identify a wholesale order from its total
A parcel or supplier settlement arrives with a total. Cross it with your catalogue to list possible lots.
Read back a partial till ticket
On a partly unreadable ticket, only the total is reliable. The tool lists combinations compatible with your price list.
Value a mixed stock lot
You know the value of a carton, not the breakdown. Search which quantities of each SKU can reach that value exactly.
Check that a quote matches the price list
Verify that a quoted total can be built from your unit prices, with no guesswork or rounding.
Best practices for splitting an amount
- Enter exact unit prices (down to the cent). The tool only keeps exact matches: a one-cent difference drops a combination.
- Give each row a clear label. Items at the same price are grouped in the results (e.g.
3 × 10 (A or B)): explicit names make the list readable. - Keep the number of distinct prices low. More distinct tariffs explode the number of combinations. Twenty unique prices is a deliberate cap so the search stays responsive.
- Start from the most precise amount you have. A total rounded to the nearest unit widens the solution space for no reason.
- The list stays in this browser only (localStorage). On a shared computer, use "Reset list" to wipe the grid after use.
Frequently asked questions
Are my prices and the amount sent to your servers?
Why don't two items at the same price appear as separate combinations?
A or B). That is intentional: a cheque cannot tell A apart from B.
Does the tool allow a small difference (a few cents)?
Why are both comma and point accepted as decimal separators?
10,50). Elsewhere it is a point (10.50). Both are normalized before the calculation.
