Split Bill Calculator

Divide any total by the number of people. Great for group dinners and shared taxis.

Divide the total, tip optional
Each person pays

Enter your details above, then press Calculate to see the tip, total and per-person amount.

Tipping customs vary by country and change over time. These figures are estimates for planning only — always follow the local norm and check whether a service charge is already on the bill.

Splitting the tip fairly

Splitting a bill is where tipping gets fiddly, because the tip should be divided along with the food. If you split before adding a tip, each person underpays the server; if you split after, the math is fair. This tool divides the total — tip included or not — by the headcount, so everyone owes the same share without a calculator app and a confusing group chat.

How the split works

The split-bill tool simply divides a total by the number of people sharing it, so everyone pays the same share. It is perfect for a group dinner where one person paid the whole bill, or a shared taxi fare. Enter the amount and the headcount, and it shows each person’s portion with no mental math.

You can also include a tip in the split. Tick the box and set a percentage, and the tool divides the bill-plus-tip total instead, so the tip is spread evenly too.

A real-world split

For a $140 dinner shared by four with a 20 percent tip included, the tool divides $168 by four to give $42 each. That is fairer than everyone guessing, and it makes sure the tip is covered. If you prefer to tip separately, leave the include-tip box unticked and split only the bare bill.

Worked example

A $140 dinner for four, with a 20 percent tip included in the split.

Bill$140.00
Tip included (20%)$28.00
Total to split$168.00
Each person$42.00

Untick "include a tip" to split only the bare bill.

Frequently asked questions

Can the split include the tip?

What if people ordered different amounts?

This tool assumes an even split. For uneven shares, calculate each person’s own bill separately.

Can I split a taxi fare?

Yes, enter the fare and the number of riders to see each share.

Does it work in other currencies?

Yes, switch the currency menu and the share displays in that money.
