Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it called 'Going Dutch'?
The term originated from 17th century rivalry between England and the Netherlands, where British people stereotyped the Dutch as stingy. Today, it's a neutral expression for fair cost sharing.
Should non-drinkers pay equally?
It depends on the situation. Use itemized splitting to calculate only what each person consumed. When drinks are expensive, it's fair to split alcohol costs separately among drinkers.
How to handle decimal amounts?
Round to the nearest whole number. The small difference can be covered by whoever volunteers, or rotate who covers the remainder each time.
Multiple payments vs one settlement?
Having different people pay at each venue naturally balances out. One settlement is precise but may be inconvenient. With close friends, approximate is fine; with new acquaintances, be exact.
How to repay when someone treats?
Options include: buying coffee/dessert next time, instant transfer via payment apps, or covering the bill at the next gathering. What matters most is expressing gratitude.
