How to Split a Bill Fairly
Choose an equal split or split by what each person ordered:
1. Choose Equal or Itemized
Equal Split divides the bill evenly. Itemized / By Person lets each person enter what they ordered.
2. Enter the Bill, Tip and Tax
Add the bill total or each person's subtotal, pick 15%, 18%, 20% or 25%, and optionally add sales tax.
3. Copy Everyone's Share
Each person sees what to pay. Copy the breakdown and paste it into a group chat or a Venmo request.
Why Split by What Each Person Ordered?
An even split is quick, but it isn't always fair:
Tax and Tip Follow the Order
In itemized mode, each person pays tax and tip in proportion to their own subtotal, so the person who ordered a salad doesn't pay toward someone else's steak.
Adds Up to the Exact Bill
Splitting by percentage can leave a stray cent. The calculator puts any rounding penny on the last person so the shares add up to the bill exactly.
Named Shares, Ready to Send
Give each person a name, add or remove friends, and copy a clean list of who owes what.
Equal Split When It's Simple
When everyone ordered about the same, switch to Equal Split and just set the number of people.
Bill Splitting Examples
When each split mode makes sense:
Birthday Dinner With Uneven Orders
Alex had $50 of food, Jordan $40 and Taylor $30. With an 18% tip on $120, Alex pays $9 of the tip, Jordan $7.20 and Taylor $5.40.
Pizza Night for Four
Everyone shared the same pizzas. Equal Split divides the total and tip by four in one step.
Drinkers and Non-Drinkers
Two people had cocktails and two had water. Itemized mode keeps the drinks on the right people's shares.
Work Lunch on Separate Cards
Colleagues paying on their own cards can give the server an exact amount to charge each card.
Equal Split vs Itemized Split
Both modes are in the same calculator. Here's when to use each:
| Feature / Capability | Itemized / By Person | Equal Split |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Orders that differ a lot in price | Shared dishes or similar orders |
| How tax and tip are shared | In proportion to each person's subtotal | Divided evenly |
| What you enter | A name and subtotal for each person | Bill total and number of people |
| Rounding | Penny difference goes to the last person | Penny difference goes to the last person |
