Fair restaurant bill splitter
Split a restaurant check after tax, tip, and service charge. Use a quick even split, custom shares, or an itemized receipt split when people ordered different things.
The itemized mode runs in your browser and is designed for personal estimates. It does not store your bill details or require an account.
Three split modes
Start with an even split. Use custom or itemized mode when the bill is not shared equally.
Total bill$102.40
Tax$6.40
Tip$16.00
Service charge$0.00
Use custom shares when people agreed to pay different percentages of the final bill.
| Person | Share | Owes |
|---|
Use itemized mode when each person ordered different items. Add people, add receipt items, and assign shared items by typing names separated with commas.
| Person | Items | Tax | Tip | Service | Total |
|---|
Fair split guide
Use itemized mode when one person ordered alcohol, skipped shared appetizers, paid for a lower-cost meal, or joined only part of the bill. The calculator can assign each item before it allocates tax, tip, and service charge.
Group payment tip
Before asking friends to pay, make sure the receipt total includes tax, tip, automatic gratuity, and any service fee. That helps avoid asking someone for too little or too much.
Direct answer
An even split is fastest when everyone ordered about the same amount. An itemized split is usually fairer when one person ordered more, shared a bottle of wine, skipped drinks, or paid for a lower-cost meal.
Fair split formula
Examples
These examples show when to use each mode.
$80 subtotal, 8% tax, 20% tip, split by 4 people = $25.60 each.
A $100 final bill split 60% and 40% means one person pays $60 and the other pays $40.
If Alex had a $16 meal and Sam had a $24 meal, tax and tip can be allocated based on those item subtotals.
This calculator runs in your browser. It does not require sign-in, and it does not need a server database to split itemized receipt details.
Add the bill subtotal, sales tax, tip, and any service charge. Then divide the final total evenly, by custom shares, or by each person’s items. USTipCalc can show the per-person amount for each method.
An even split is fastest when everyone ordered about the same amount. An itemized split is usually fairer when one person ordered more, shared appetizers, drinks, or a more expensive meal.
For an itemized split, a fair method is to assign each person their items first, then allocate tax, tip, and service charge in proportion to each person’s subtotal.
Yes. In itemized mode, enter the shared item and assign it to the people who shared it. The calculator divides that item across those people before adding tax, tip, and service charge.
No. The split bill calculator runs in your browser. It does not require an account and does not send your bill items to a server in this static version.
