Bill Split Calculator
Split the check fairly in seconds. Enter the bill, choose a tip, and say how many people are sharing — you'll see the tip, the grand total and exactly what each person pays. Turn on round-up so everyone pays a clean amount. Updates as you type.
How the split works
Add the tip to the bill, then divide by the number of people:
per person = (bill + bill × tip%) ÷ people
- Tip on pre-tax or total? Either is fine — enter whichever bill figure you want to tip on.
- Round-up bumps each share to the next whole dollar — tidy for cash and a slightly bigger tip.
- Uneven orders? This splits evenly; for itemised splits, total each person's items separately.
FAQ
How do you split a bill with tip between people?
Add the tip to the bill first, then divide by the number of people. For example, an $80 bill with an 18% tip is $80 + $14.40 = $94.40 total, split 4 ways = $23.60 each. This calculator does it instantly and lets you change the tip percentage and party size.
Should the tip be on the pre-tax or post-tax total?
Customarily the tip is calculated on the pre-tax amount, but many people tip on the total for simplicity — both are acceptable. If you want to tip on the pre-tax figure, enter that as the bill amount; if it is easier, enter the post-tax total. The per-person split works the same either way.
What does the round-up option do?
It rounds each person's share up to the next whole dollar so everyone pays a clean, even amount and there is a little extra in the tip. The calculator shows the rounded per-person amount and the small additional total it adds, which is handy for cash payments.
Is a 15%, 18% or 20% tip standard?
In the US, 15% is the lower end for adequate service, 18% is common for good service, and 20% or more rewards great service. Tipping norms vary by country and venue — in many places a service charge is already included, so check the bill before adding more.
