Split Bill Calculator
Split a bill fairly when people ordered different amounts, including shared dishes, tax and tip.
About the Split Bill Calculator
List what each person ordered, add anything shared, and enter the tax and tip percentages. The calculator gives each person's total and the bill total, with a table showing their own items, their share of shared dishes and what they owe.
Splitting evenly is easy but unfair when orders differ a lot. Here each person pays for their own items plus an equal share of anything shared, then tax and tip are applied in proportion.
The formula
Pays = (own items + shared ÷ people) × (1 + tax + tip)
Worked example
Four people with 24.50, 31.00, 18.75 and 22.00, plus 16 of shared starters; 8% tax, 18% tip
- Shared: 16 ÷ 4 = 4.00 each
- Alex: (24.50 + 4.00) × 1.26 = 35.91
- Bill total: 141.44
Questions people ask
Should tip be on the pre-tax amount?
Many people tip on the pre-tax amount; this calculator applies tax and tip to the same base for simplicity.
How do I split evenly instead?
Use the tip calculator's “split between” option.
