Bill Split Calculator
Split a bill with tax and tip across any group size.
Quick answer
To split a bill, add tax and tip to the subtotal, then divide by the number of people for an even split — or by each person's share of the order for an itemized split. Rounding each share up to the nearest dollar keeps the tip from coming up short.

Tip on what?
Convention (and this calculator) tips on the pre-tax subtotal — tipping on tax rewards the government, not the server. An 18% tip on an $84 subtotal is $15.12 whether the tax line is 5% or 10%.
Even splits and their limits
Equal splits are fastest and fair within a few dollars; groups with big order gaps can split the subtotal by consumption and share tax and tip proportionally. Whatever the method, decide before the check arrives — the math is easier than the negotiation.
