How to Split the Bill
Dining out or sharing expenses with a group? This calculator makes it easy to divide the cost fairly.
Using the Calculator:
- Enter the Total Bill Amount before any tip.
- Enter the desired Tip Percentage (e.g., 15 for 15%). If no tip, enter 0.
- Enter the Number of People sharing the bill.
- Click "Calculate Split" to see the total amount including tip, the tip amount itself, and most importantly, how much each person owes.
Tips for Fair Splitting:
- Communicate: Discuss how to split the bill before ordering, especially if some people are ordering significantly more expensive items or not drinking alcohol.
- Separate Checks: If possible, asking for separate checks can be the easiest way, though not always feasible for large groups.
- Consider Apps: For more complex splitting (e.g., by item), dedicated bill-splitting apps might be helpful. This calculator is great for equal splits of the total.
- Beyond Restaurants: This tool can also be used for splitting other shared expenses like groceries, tickets, or household bills if you're dividing the total cost equally.
Note on Tipping: Tipping customs vary widely by country and service type. In some countries, a service charge is automatically included. Common tip percentages in the US for good restaurant service are often between 15% and 20% of the pre-tax bill amount.
