## Description

Managing split bills gets complicated fast—especially when someone pays for everything upfront but another person is late with their share. This MCP handles that 'float' money calculation. Instead of guessing or using complex spreadsheets, you feed your agent the details and it calculates exactly how much needs to be paid back. The tool determines the principal amount due plus any accrued interest from the delay. It also confirms whether the combination of upfront payments and final repayments fully covers the total bill.

### Auditing Event Overhead Costs
An event organizer paid $5,000 upfront. After all payments come in, they use `validate_bill_coverage` to confirm that the total money collected exceeds the original expense amount, confirming zero overage.

## How It Works

The bottom line is, you get an accurate financial audit of shared expenses without manual calculations or guesswork about late fees.

1. Provide your agent with the details: the total shared expense, who paid upfront, and how many days the delayed party is late.
2. The MCP processes this data by calculating the interest accrued over the delay period and determining the final required payment amount.
3. Your agent returns a clear calculation showing both the adjusted repayment figure and confirmation that the original bill has been fully covered.
