About the Split Bill Calculator

Splitting bills is one of the most common everyday maths challenges. Whether dividing a restaurant bill, calculating everyone's share of a group holiday, or splitting household costs fairly, this calculator handles the arithmetic instantly.

Splitting equally makes sense when everyone ordered or consumed similarly. For more complex situations — where people ordered significantly different amounts — itemised splitting is fairer, though more complex to calculate.

When splitting a bill that includes a service charge or mandatory tip, include it in the total before dividing. This ensures everyone contributes fairly to the tip rather than calculating it separately per person.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — the bill is divided equally. For unequal splits, calculate each person's share separately.
Yes — add a tip % and it is included in each person's share.
Any — enter your amount in any currency. No currency conversion is applied.
Total the bill including any service charge, divide by the number of people, and round to the nearest pound or convenient amount. For more complex situations where people ordered very different amounts, an itemised split (each pays for what they ordered) is fairer, though more effort.
An itemised split — each person pays for their own items plus an equal share of any shared starters, desserts and service charges — is the most accurate. Apps like Splitwise can track itemised splits and settle up across multiple occasions. For one-off meals, equal splitting with a round-up is usually simpler.
Conventionally, tips are split equally regardless of individual order sizes. For proportional splitting, multiply each person's order by the tip percentage. If one person ordered £50 and another £15 from a £65 total with 15% tip (£9.75), the proportional shares are £7.50 and £2.25 respectively.
Add the tip to the bill first, then divide by the number of people. For example, £90 + 12.5% tip = £101.25, split 4 ways = £25.31 each.
In the UK, 10–12.5% is typical for table service in restaurants, though it's optional and often already added as a service charge. The calculator lets you set any percentage.
