About Split Bill Calculator
Every group dinner ends the same way: the check arrives, everyone reaches for their phone, and someone volunteers to “just figure it out”, which takes ten minutes and still feels unfair. This calculator ends the ritual in seconds. Enter the subtotal, the number of people, and the tax and tip percentages, and each person's share appears instantly: tax and tip computed on the subtotal, added to the grand total, divided evenly. No mental math, no Venmo-request resentment.
The even split is the right default for most tables, and the tool follows the standard conventions that keep it fair: tip calculated on the pre-tax subtotal, tax distributed equally. That matches how restaurants think about the bill and how most friend groups expect it to work. When the table ordered roughly the same kind of meal, everyone's in the entree-and-a-drink zone, even splitting is both fastest and least likely to start a debate.
The honest limitation: even splits punish the salad-orderer subsidizing the steak-and-cocktails friend. If one person's order is dramatically bigger, do a quick itemized split instead, run each person's subtotal share through separately, or just have the big spender cover the difference. And always glance at the check for an automatic gratuity first; on parties of six or more, many restaurants add 18–20% themselves, and tipping on top of that is the most common group-dinner overpay.

Tips for best results
- Check the check for automatic gratuity before adding tip, parties of 6+ often have 18–20% added already.
- Tip is computed on the pre-tax subtotal here, the standard convention; don't let anyone tip on the tax.
- If orders were wildly uneven, split itemized instead: run each person's portion through separately rather than dividing evenly.
- Round each share up to the nearest dollar, the extra cents cover rounding and nobody misses them.
- Watch for “service charges” on the bill; they're not always the tip, and some venues add both.
