Tip and Bill Split Calculator
Used by developers, writers, and creators worldwide.
A tip and bill split calculator works out the tip on a restaurant bill and divides the total evenly between everyone at the table. Enter the bill amount, the tip percentage you want to leave, and how many people are splitting it, and it returns the tip in dollars, the grand total including tip, and the exact amount each person owes. It saves the awkward mental arithmetic at the end of a meal and stops the rounding arguments that leave the tip short. Diners use it to split a group dinner fairly, calculate a generous or modest tip, or check the math on a printed bill. Because it shows the tip and the per-person figure separately, everyone can see how the total was reached. Use it for restaurants, bars, taxis, or any shared cost, and adjust the tip percentage to match the service and local custom.

FAQ
is the tip calculated before or after tax
The tool applies the tip percentage to the bill amount you enter. If you want to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, enter that figure; if you prefer to tip on the full total, enter the after-tax amount instead.
how is rounding handled
Amounts are shown to the cent. Because dividing evenly can leave fractions of a cent, the per-person figure is rounded for display, so one person may need to cover a cent or two of difference in practice.
what tip percentage should i leave
Customs vary by country and service. Many places treat 15 to 20 percent as standard for good restaurant service, but check local norms. The tool lets you set any percentage to match the situation.
