What is the Bill Splitter?

The bill arrives, everyone reaches for their phone, and someone starts doing mental arithmetic with the tip. This bill splitter does it instantly: enter the total, pick a tip, say how many people, and it shows the tip amount, the grand total, and exactly what each person owes.

It's a quick calculation that runs in your browser — no sign-up, nothing stored.

What does this tool do?

You type the bill amount, choose a tip percentage (from presets or your own), and set the number of people. The tool adds the tip to the bill and divides the total evenly, showing the tip, the total and the per-person share updating as you change any figure.

It's built for the common case of splitting evenly across the table.

Tips

  • Check whether a service charge is already on the bill before adding a tip on top.
  • For an uneven split (someone skipped a course), settle those items separately, then split the rest here.
  • Round the per-person figure up slightly so the tip is never short.
  • Use a custom tip percentage when local custom differs from the presets.
  • Agree the tip before you divide so nobody's surprised by their share.

Common mistakes to avoid

Tipping on top of an included service charge

Fix: Check the bill first; many restaurants already add service.

Forcing an even split on very unequal orders

Fix: Pull out the outlier items and split those separately.

Forgetting tax in the total

Fix: Enter the bill as it's printed, including tax, so the split covers everything.

Rounding down the per-person share

Fix: Round up slightly so the total collected covers the bill and tip.
