Important Notes

  • The calculator splits the bill equally among all people. For itemized splitting (each person pays for their items), use a more detailed calculator.
  • Tip is optional. Enter 0% if you don't want to include tip in the split. Each person can add their own tip separately.
  • Total with tip is calculated first, then divided by the number of people. This ensures tip is included in the split.
  • For large groups, the calculator makes it easy to see how much each person should pay. No need for manual calculations.
  • All amounts are displayed in USD currency format. The calculator handles decimal values accurately.
