NewsHow to split a restaurant bill in the United States
Enter the pre-tip amount, adjust the tip percentage, and select the number of diners. The calculator adds a percentage tip to the entered bill and divides the total equally among the group. It also shows how much tip each person contributes.
Tax, service charges and local customs
Some restaurants add automatic gratuity or service fees for large parties. Look closely at the receipt to avoid accidentally counting the same charge twice. Some people calculate the tip on the pre-tax subtotal; others use the full final amount. Use the bill field that matches your preference and local circumstances.
Why a simple tool is useful on mobile
When friends are paying separately, a quick, clearly formatted result avoids confusing mental calculations. If different people purchased different meals, this equal-split calculator may not match an itemized split.
Common questions
Can I use this on a phone at a restaurant?
Yes, it runs directly in your browser without a sign-in or API key.
Does it calculate individual item splits?
No. It divides the total including tip evenly by the number of people.
