Split Bill Calculator
| Grand total | $115.00 |
| Tip amount | $15.00 |
| Tax amount | $0.00 |
| Per person | $57.50 |
| Tip per person | $7.50 |
A $100 bill with a 15% tip split two ways: $115 total, $57.50 each, of which $7.50 each is tip.
Enter the bill, an optional tip and tax percentage, and the number of people. The calculator returns the grand total and exactly what each person owes, including their share of the tip.
Tip and tax are both calculated on the entered bill amount (the pre-tax subtotal), which is the common convention for tipping. Set either percentage to 0 to leave it out.

Frequently asked questions
Should tip be on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Traditionally pre-tax, which is what this calculator does. Tipping on the post-tax total only adds a small amount — on a $100 bill with 8% tax, the difference on a 15% tip is $1.20.
What if people ordered very different amounts?
An even split is fairest for shared meals of similar size. For very uneven orders, split the itemized amounts individually and use this calculator just for each person's tip and tax share.
