About the split bill calculator

The split bill calculator divides a shared bill evenly across a group. Enter the bill subtotal, an optional tip percentage, and the number of people paying. The tool shows the tip amount, the grand total, and how much each person owes.

It is perfect for group dinners, shared holidays, roommates splitting groceries, or any time several people share a single check. The tip is calculated on the subtotal before splitting, so everyone pays an equal share of both the bill and the gratuity.

The math

  • Tip amount = Subtotal × (Tip% ÷ 100)
  • Total = Subtotal + Tip amount
  • Per person = Total ÷ Number of people
