About Bill Split With Tip Calculator

The tip is a percentage of the pre-tip bill, added before dividing. Rounding each share up to a convenient amount avoids awkward change and usually leaves a little extra on the table, which is shown separately so nobody is short.

Formula

Bill split

total = bill x (1 + tip%); each share = total / people, rounded up to the chosen increment

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the tip be on the pre-tax or post-tax total?

Convention varies. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is common and defensible; tipping on the total is simply more generous.

What if people ordered very differently?

Split by item instead. An even split is only fair when orders are broadly comparable, otherwise use itemised shares.
