Split a bill with tip
A $48 bill with a 15% tip totals $55.20. Split across 3 people, each person pays $18.40.
Formula
The calculator multiplies the bill by the tip percentage, adds the tip to the bill, then divides the total by the number of people.
Example interpretation
A $48 bill with a 15% tip has a $7.20 tip and a $55.20 total. If 3 people split it evenly, the per-person total is $18.40. If your group rounds payments, use this result as the starting point and adjust together.
Limitations
- The calculator assumes the bill is split evenly.
- It does not handle separate itemized orders, tax-before-tip rules, or service charges unless those are included in the bill amount.
- Local tipping customs vary, so choose a tip percentage that fits the situation.
FAQ
Should the bill amount include tax?
Use whichever rule you want to follow. If you enter the post-tax bill, the tip is calculated on that amount.
Can it split uneven bills?
No. This calculator is for an even split. Itemized meals need each person's subtotal first.
What if there is already a service charge?
Include the service charge in the bill amount if you want it split, and use a tip percent that reflects the situation.
Privacy note
The calculator runs in the browser and does not require an account. Bill, tip, and group-size inputs are normal planning values.
