Split Bill Calculator
Formula
Per Person = Total Bill ÷ Number of People
Divide the total bill (including tax and tip) by the number of people to get each person's share.
How to use
- Enter the full amount in the Bill Total field.
- Enter how many are paying in the People field.
- Read each person's even share below.
Example
A $120 bill split between 4 people: $120 ÷ 4 = $30 per person, including any tax and tip you've already added.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I split the bill before or after tip?
Add the tip to the total first, then split. This ensures the server gets the full tip amount.
How to handle uneven splits?
If someone ordered significantly more, use the tip calculator to figure out individual totals instead of splitting evenly.
How do we split a bill when some people had drinks and others didn't?
The fairest approach is to total each person's own items first, then add a proportional share of tax and tip on top of each subtotal. An even split is faster but overcharges the people who ordered less, which can cause friction if the difference is large. For mixed groups, calculating individual totals and only splitting shared appetizers evenly tends to feel most fair.
What's the easiest way to collect everyone's share?
Have one person pay the full bill on a single card to simplify the transaction, then collect each share afterward through a payment app like Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle. This avoids the hassle of multiple cards at the table and the awkwardness of splitting cash that doesn't divide evenly. Rounding each person up slightly also helps make sure the total, including tip, is fully covered.
