Tip & bill split calculatorTip and bill split calculator

Calculate a percentage tip and split a bill evenly. Enter the amount you want to tip on, select a percentage, and choose the number of people. Optional round-up raises each person's share to a whole dollar. Check whether the bill already includes a service charge or gratuity. Local customs and venue policies vary; the percentage presets are examples, not rules.

How the split is calculated

The calculator applies your chosen percentage to the amount entered, adds that tip, and divides the total evenly by the number of people. It does not determine which items are taxable or which amount a group should tip on.

Service charges

Check the receipt to see whether a service charge or gratuity is already included. How it is distributed depends on the venue and local rules.

Rounding

The optional round-up raises each person?s share to a whole dollar. The amount collected can therefore exceed the unrounded bill-plus-tip total; the calculator includes that difference in the displayed tip.

How it works

T=B×pS=B+TnT = B \times p \qquad S = \frac{B + T}{n}
Tip %
Percentage of the bill — presets or your own number
Round-up
Optional: each share rounded up to the next whole dollar

Base tip = bill times tip percentage. Total collected = bill plus tip, divided equally between people. With round-up, each share is rounded upward to a whole dollar, then multiplied by the number of people. The displayed tip includes that additional amount above the bill. This tool does not decide how a venue distributes a charge.

Worked example

An $86.40 bill with an 18% tip is $101.95 total. Split three ways that is $33.98 each — with round-up on, everyone pays $34 ($102 total).

Understanding your results

The per-person result divides the entered bill and selected tip evenly. If whole-dollar round-up is enabled, the collected total can exceed the bill plus the unrounded tip; the difference is included in the displayed tip amount.
