Tool workflow

Split a restaurant bill

Dinner out often ends with one question: what does each person owe after tip and tax? This two-step workflow starts with tip math on the full bill, then splits the total evenly—handy on mobile before anyone sends a payment app request.

When to use this workflow

You are splitting a check evenly after a group meal.
You want a standard tip percentage before dividing the total.
Tax is included in the bill and you need a per-person number quickly.
You are sharing the workflow link with friends at the table.

Tips

Run Tip Calculator first so the split uses the full total with tip.
For uneven splits (someone had wine, someone did not), divide manually or use separate line items.
Round up a cent or two per person if the split does not land on whole cents.

Frequently asked questions

Why two tools instead of one?

Tip Calculator is built for quick gratuity math; Split Bill Calculator handles even splits with tax and tip fields. Together they cover the most common group-dinner flow.

Can I split unevenly?

These tools assume an even split. For custom shares, calculate each person’s items separately or agree on a fixed split outside the calculators.
