The Ultimate Bill Splitter and Tip Calculator
Figuring out exactly how much everyone owes at the end of a group dinner can quickly turn an enjoyable evening into a stressful math problem. Our free bill splitter and tip calculator is designed to eliminate the hassle. Whether you are grabbing a quick lunch by yourself or splitting a massive feast with a large group of friends, this tool calculates exactly what everyone owes down to the penny.
Why Use a Check Splitter?
When dining with friends or coworkers, the traditional "divide by the number of people" method rarely works fairly. Someone might have ordered a side salad and water, while someone else had an expensive steak and a few rounds of cocktails. By using our bill splitting tool, you guarantee fairness. It accurately applies the correct proportion of the sales tax and the tip percentage to each individual's customized subtotal.
How to Split a Restaurant Bill Fairly
- For Solo Diners: Stay in the "Just me" mode. Input the price of your meal, adjust the local sales tax percentage, and choose your tip amount to see exactly what will be charged to your card.
- For Groups: Switch to the "Split with group" mode. Add every person sitting at the table. Under their name, list out exactly what they ordered.
- Handling Shared Items: If the table shared appetizers, desserts, or pitchers of drinks, simply add them to the "Shared items" section. The cost of these shared goods is automatically divided evenly among everyone in the group.
