Split Bill Calculator
Divide any bill and tip equally or unequally among friends
About this tool
This free split bill calculator makes it easy to divide a restaurant bill — including tip — equally among any number of people. Enter the total bill amount, pick a tip percentage, and set how many diners are splitting. You instantly see the tip total, each person's tip share, and each person's total amount due.
Splitting a bill with friends or colleagues is one of those everyday moments where mental math gets frustrating, especially after a big group dinner with different drink orders and a 20% tip. This calculator removes the haggling — just set the number of people and everyone gets the same clear number.
For dinners where people ordered very different amounts, the fairest split is to track individual orders (or use a tab-based app). But for casual group meals where the difference is small, an equal split including tip is the most socially frictionless approach and what this calculator does. Most groups find that equal splitting — even when orders vary slightly — is faster and results in less awkwardness than itemizing every dish.
Tip etiquette reminder: for restaurants, 18–20% is standard for good service. Always tip on the pre-tax subtotal if you prefer to be technically precise, though most people tip on the full bill and the difference is negligible. This calculator uses the bill total you enter, so enter your pre-tax or post-tax total as you prefer.
