How the Bill Split Calculator Works

Add the tip to the bill, then divide by the number of people. On a $120 bill with an 18% tip, the tip is $21.60 and the grand total $141.60 — split four ways, that’s $35.40 each. Everyone covers an equal share of both the food and the gratuity.

This splits evenly, which is simplest for a shared meal. If people ordered very differently, split the items first and apply the tip proportionally. Rounding each share up to the nearest dollar is an easy way to make sure the tip is fully covered.

per person = (bill + tip) ÷ number of people

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you split a bill with tip?

Add the tip to the bill for the grand total, then divide by the number of people. This calculator does both at once.

Should tip be on the pre-tax total?

Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is standard, though many tip on the full total for simplicity. Either is fine.

How do we split an uneven bill?

Total each person’s items separately, then add the same tip percentage to each. Even splitting works best when orders are similar.
