Divide a bill (with optional tip) evenly between people.
Local calculation only.
How do you split a bill between people?
Grand total = Amount × (1 + Tip% ÷ 100), and Per person = Grand total ÷ People. This divides the bill evenly; for uneven shares, calculate each person's items separately. For example, a 150 bill with a 10% tip is 165 total, which works out to 41.25 each between four people.
Understanding your result
This splits the bill evenly. For uneven shares, calculate each person’s items separately.
Formula and method
Grand total = Amount × (1 + Tip% ÷ 100). Per person = Grand total ÷ People.
Assumptions and limitations
The result is an estimate for general guidance only and not financial advice; it assumes an even split. Where people ordered very different items, work out each share separately. Actual amounts owed depend on your group, service charges already added to the bill, and how you choose to round.
Worked example
A 150 bill with a 10% tip is 165 total — 41.25 each between four people.

Frequently asked questions
Can it handle uneven splits?
This tool splits evenly. For uneven shares, total each person’s portion separately.
How is the tip applied before splitting?
The tip is added to the bill first to give a grand total, then that total is divided by the number of people. So each person contributes an equal share of both the original amount and the tip, matching the example of a 150 bill plus 10% becoming 165 shared out.
What if a service charge is already on the bill?
If the venue has already added a service charge, that amount sits inside the printed total, so enter the total as your bill and set the tip to zero. Adding a further tip percentage on top would charge your group for service twice over.
