Tips on Splitting Bills Fairly
When dining out in groups, the bill splitting calculator makes fairness easy. Divide the total equally for the simplest approach. However, if people ordered significantly different amounts, consider itemized splitting. Our calculator handles equal splits perfectly โ for itemized splitting, calculate each person's share individually and use our tool to add the appropriate tip portion on top.
Should You Tip on Pre-Tax or Post-Tax?
Most etiquette guides recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, as the tax portion is not related to the service quality. However, in practice, many people simply tip on the total for convenience โ the difference on a typical restaurant bill is usually small (a few dollars). Our calculator lets you enter whichever amount you prefer โ you have full control.
