Bill Splitter

Split restaurant bills equally with tip calculation and per-person amount.

When to use a bill splitter

Splitting bills fairly is one of those small social calculations that people do mentally — and often get slightly wrong. Whether it's a group dinner, a road trip, shared accommodation, or office lunch, a quick calculation removes any awkwardness and ensures everyone pays their fair share.

Tips for group outings

  • Agree on tip before ordering— decide as a group whether you're tipping and how much, especially in restaurants that don't add a service charge.
  • Check the bill — look for automatic service charges before adding an additional tip. Double-tipping is common when dining in tourist areas.
  • Round up per person— rounding each person's share slightly up rather than having one person pay a fraction of a rupee is common courtesy.

Frequently asked questions

How does the bill splitter work?
Enter the total bill amount, choose a tip percentage, and set the number of people. The calculator divides the total (bill + tip) equally among all people and shows each person's share.
What tip percentage should I leave?
In India, tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. 10% is common for good service, 15–18% for excellent service. In the US, 18–20% is standard. Many restaurants in India already add a service charge of 5–10% to the bill.
Can I split unevenly?
This tool splits equally. For unequal splits (e.g., someone ordered more), you can add and remove people and manually note which items each person owes — then use the per-person total as a reference.
Does it account for restaurant service charge?
If the restaurant has already added a service charge, enter the total bill inclusive of that charge and set tip to 0%. The bill amount you enter should be the final amount before your optional additional tip.
Can I rename the people?
Yes — click on any name field and type to rename it. This is useful when sharing your screen to show who owes what.
