Split Bill Calculator

Our split bill calculator makes it effortless to divide restaurant bills, group expenses, and shared costs among any number of people. Whether you need to split a check at dinner, divide a bill for an Airbnb stay, or fairly break down a receipt among roommates, this free online bill splitter handles it all — with tax and tip calculated automatically.

Simply enter the total bill amount, choose a tip percentage, set the sales tax rate, and specify how many people are splitting. The calculator instantly shows each person's share, including their proportional portion of tip and tax. No manual math, no arguments over who owes what — just a fair, transparent breakdown in seconds.

For more complex situations where people ordered different items, switch to Itemized Split mode. Add each menu item from the receipt, assign it to specific people, and the calculator generates a personalized receipt breakdown for every diner. Shared items like appetizers, pitchers, or dessert can be split among any combination of guests.

Simple Split divides the total bill evenly among all diners. Enter the pre-tax subtotal, adjust tip and tax percentages, and everyone pays the same amount. This is perfect for casual dinners where everyone ordered similarly priced dishes — or any time the group just wants an even split.

Itemized Split lets you add individual items from the receipt and assign each one to specific people. Someone only had a salad while others ordered steak? No problem — each person only pays for what they ordered, plus their proportional share of tax and tip. Color-coded name chips make it fast to tag who had what, and a running subtotal badge helps you verify the total against the receipt.

Both modes support named people, making the results easy to read and share. Switch between modes any time — the calculator remembers your tip, tax, and currency settings.

Following standard US restaurant practice, tip is calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. A 20% tip on a $100 meal with 15% tax adds $20 in tip — not $23 as it would if tip were calculated after tax. The tax is applied to the food total separately. The formula for each person's share in simple mode is:

Share = (Subtotal + Tax + Tip) ÷ Number of People

In itemized mode, tax and tip are distributed proportionally based on each person's food subtotal. If Alice ordered $30 of food and Bob ordered $70, Alice pays 30% of the total tax and tip while Bob pays 70%. This ensures a fair split every time — each person pays only for what they ordered, so no one subsidises someone else's meal.

If your restaurant receipt already includes tax, simply set the tax rate to 0% and enter the tax-inclusive total. Everything else works exactly the same way.

The receipt breakdown feature turns a single restaurant receipt into individual mini-receipts for every diner. In Itemized mode you see exactly which items were assigned to each person, their food subtotal, proportional tax, proportional tip, and grand total. Each person's receipt can be copied to the clipboard with one tap — ready to paste directly into a Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle request.

You can also use the "Who paid?" feature to indicate which person covered the restaurant check. The calculator then generates settle-up rows showing exactly who owes whom and how much. Tap the clipboard icon on any settle-up row to copy just the numeric amount — perfect for pasting into a payment app without reformatting.

• Agree on the method before ordering — decide whether you'll split evenly or by item so nobody feels blindsided at the end.
• Round up for kindness — enable the round-up option to bump each share to the nearest whole dollar, which simplifies payments and slightly increases the tip.
• Name your bill — add a title like "Friday Dinner at Mario's" so shared links and copied receipts are easy to identify weeks later.
• Use "Who paid?" for easy Venmo requests — select who covered the check and the calculator shows exactly who owes whom, with one-tap copy for each amount.
• Share the link alongside payment requests — copy the unique shareable URL and paste it next to your Venmo or Cash App request so friends see the full breakdown.
• Check the running subtotal — in itemized mode the subtotal badge updates in real time as you add items, making it easy to verify against the paper receipt.
• Use it for non-restaurant expenses too — this bill splitter works for groceries, Airbnb stays, group gifts, utility bills, or any shared expense.
