Split Bill Calculator
Split a restaurant or shared bill after tax and tip among people.
How to check this result
Enter the bill, tax, tip and number of people before dividing the total.
Method and assumptions
The calculator adds any tax and tip to the base bill, then divides the complete total equally.
Before making a decision
For uneven shares, calculate the full total first and agree on each person’s share separately.
Tax, tips and equal shares
Method and inputs
Enter the bill before tax. Tax and tip percentages are both applied to that original bill, not to each other. Enter zero for either charge when it does not apply. The number of people must be a positive whole number.
Worked example
For a 120 bill, 8% tax and 15% tip: tax = 9.60, tip = 18.00 and total = 147.60. Four people pay 36.90 each. This is an equal split; the calculator does not assign individual menu items.
Limits and common mistakes
If the bill already includes tax, enter the full bill and zero tax to avoid charging it twice. A tip on the after-tax amount needs a separate calculation. Rounding shares can leave a cent or two to allocate.
How do I split unequal orders?
Assign each person their items, then distribute shared charges proportionally. For a 40 and 60 order with a 10 shared charge, the proportional totals are 44 and 66.
