Enter your bill total, number of people, tip percentage, and tax rate to find out exactly what each person owes. The Split Bill Calculator divides restaurant and group bills fairly — accounting for tip, tax, and any discounts or extra fees — so there's no awkward guessing at the table.

The calculator starts with your bill subtotal, applies any discount to reduce it, then calculates tax and tip on the adjusted subtotal. It adds any extra fees and divides the grand total equally among the number of people you entered. You can also choose to split the tip and fees proportionally instead of evenly.
Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is the traditional etiquette and the most common approach. However, tipping on the post-tax total is also widely accepted, especially in the US. The difference is usually small — on a $100 bill with 8.5% tax, the tip difference between 18% of subtotal vs. total is under $1.55.
This calculator assumes an even split of the subtotal by default, which is the simplest approach for group dining. If individuals ordered very different amounts, consider itemizing manually — add each person's items separately and then apply the shared tax and tip proportionally using the 'By Item Share' option.
Tax is calculated on the adjusted subtotal (after any discount) and then divided evenly among the number of people. This is the fairest approach when everyone is sharing a combined check, as the restaurant applies tax to the total bill rather than individual items.
Yes. The calculator works with any currency — simply enter your amounts in whatever currency you're using. The '$' symbol displayed is just a placeholder; the math works the same regardless of currency.
The extra fee field covers any flat charges added to the bill, such as a service charge, delivery fee, cake-cutting fee, or private dining room surcharge. You can split this fee evenly or proportionally based on each person's share of the subtotal.
In the US, 15% is generally considered the minimum for adequate service, 18–20% is standard for good service, and 20–25% or more is appropriate for exceptional service. For large groups, many restaurants automatically add an 18–20% gratuity to the bill.
The discount is subtracted from the bill subtotal first, and then tax and tip are calculated on the reduced amount. This matches how restaurants typically apply coupons or promotional discounts before computing the final bill.
