How to Use the Split Bill Calculator
Our split bill calculator makes it easy to divide restaurant bills and shared expenses among friends. Simply enter the total bill amount, choose a tip percentage, and specify how many people are splitting the bill. The calculator instantly shows each person's share including their portion of the tip and tax.
For more complex situations where people ordered different items, switch to itemized mode. Add each menu item, assign it to specific people, and the calculator handles the rest — proportionally dividing tax and tip based on what each person actually ordered.
Whether you're splitting a dinner check, dividing household expenses with roommates, or settling up after a group trip, this calculator ensures everyone pays their fair share. You can even share the results with friends via a unique link so everyone can see the breakdown.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split a bill with different items per person?
Use the itemized mode in our calculator. Add each item with its price, then assign items to specific people. The calculator will automatically divide shared items and add each person's tax and tip proportionally.
Should I calculate tip before or after tax?
The standard practice in the US is to calculate tip on the pre-tax subtotal. Our calculator handles this automatically — the tip is calculated on the food and drink total before tax is applied.
What is a good tip percentage?
In the US, 15-20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. 15% is considered minimum for acceptable service, 18% for good service, and 20%+ for excellent service. Our calculator includes quick-select buttons for common tip percentages.
How do I split a bill when people ordered different amounts?
Rather than splitting equally, switch to itemized mode and assign each menu item to the person who ordered it. Shared items like appetizers can be split among selected people. Tax and tip are then calculated proportionally based on each person's subtotal.
