How do I split a bill with tip among a group?

Enter the total bill amount, choose your tip percentage using quick buttons (10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%) or enter a custom amount, then set the number of people. The calculator divides the total (bill + tip) equally among everyone. For example, a $120 bill with 20% tip split 4 ways: $120 + $24 = $144 ÷ 4 = $36 per person.

What is unequal bill splitting?

Unequal splitting lets each person pay for what they ordered rather than dividing equally. Enter each person's share of the pre-tip bill, and the calculator adds tip proportionally. If Person A had $40 of a $100 bill and Person B had $60, Person A pays 40% of the tip and Person B pays 60%.

Should I calculate tip before or after tax?

By etiquette standards, you should tip on the pre-tax subtotal since you're tipping for service, not the government's share. However, many people tip on the full amount for simplicity. The difference is usually small. Our calculator includes a toggle to choose either method.

What does the round up option do?

The round up option rounds each person's share to the nearest whole dollar. This makes it easier to pay with cash or Venmo without dealing with cents. The total may be slightly more than the exact bill + tip, but the convenience is worth it for most groups.

How is tip splitter different from a tip calculator?

A tip calculator focuses on calculating tip amounts and percentages for a single payer. The tip splitter is designed specifically for groups — it calculates per-person amounts, supports equal and unequal splits, rounds up for convenience, and generates a shareable summary you can send to your group.

Tip Splitter

To calculate tip: multiply the bill by the tip percentage. Formula: Tip = Bill x (tip% / 100). Per-person share: (Bill + Tip) / Number of people. Example: $80 bill at 20% tip = $16 tip, $96 total. Split 4 ways: $24 each. Standard rates: 10% (poor service), 15% (average), 20% (good), 25% (exceptional). Tip on the pre-tax amount. Round up per person to the nearest dollar to avoid change. Supports equal and unequal splits.

Split bills among groups with tip calculation. Equal or unequal split mode, quick tip buttons (10-25%), round up per person to nearest dollar, tax-before-tip toggle, and shareable text summary. Perfect for group dinners and shared meals.
