The "then" adds the nuance of,
"Well, OK. If that is the case, *then* let's split the check."
If that is the case ---> If you are the one who always pays, then....
You can also say,
"Well, OK, then let's split the check."
Without the "then," the sentence sounds less fluent, as you are just directly stating,"Let's split the check," without in anyway building on/referring to what the other person said.

I’m grateful to you to tell me, because I really wanted to know how it sounds without the “then”.

If you could tell me if this is natural expression?
