Bill & Tip Splitter

The Bill & Tip Splitter takes a total bill, a tip percentage, and a group of people, and works out exactly what each person owes — evenly across everyone, or unevenly if some people ordered more than others — instead of everyone doing rough mental math at the table and someone inevitably paying a few dollars more or less than they should have.

Splitting a bill sounds simple until it’s actually happening at a table with six people, some of whom shared an appetizer, one of whom only had a drink, and a tip percentage nobody can quite agree on doing math for in their head after a couple of drinks. An even split is easy but not always fair; a fully itemized split is fair but tedious to calculate by hand. Having both options in one place means you can pick whichever matches the situation — a quick even split for a casual group, or an itemized uneven split when it actually matters that everyone pays for what they had.

To use it, enter the total bill amount and your tip percentage (or a specific tip amount, if you’re not working in percentages). For an even split, enter the number of people and the total divides automatically, tip included. For an uneven split, assign each person’s individual items or amount, and the tool calculates their share of the tip proportionally alongside their share of the bill.

This is exactly the kind of thing worth having as a bookmark on your phone rather than reaching for a calculator app and doing the tip math manually every time — one link, plug in the numbers, done.

FAQ

How does the tip get calculated in an uneven split — evenly across everyone, or proportional to what they ordered?

Proportional to what each person ordered by default, which is generally considered the fairer approach — someone who ordered a $40 entrée pays a larger share of the tip than someone who ordered a $12 side, in proportion to their share of the total bill.

Can I split a bill unevenly without itemizing every single item?

Yes — you can assign each person a lump amount for what they had rather than itemizing individual menu items, if that’s faster and accurate enough for your situation.

Does this handle tax as well as tip?

If tax is included in the bill total you enter, it’s split the same way as the rest of the bill; check whether your specific total already includes tax or if you need to add it as a separate line before splitting.

What if the group can’t agree on a tip percentage?

Enter a specific tip amount instead of a percentage if that’s easier to agree on as a group — the split calculation works the same either way.
