🍽️ Tip Calculator & Bill Splitter

This tip calculator and bill splitter works out the gratuity owed on a restaurant, delivery, salon, or taxi bill, then splits the combined total evenly among any number of people. As both a tip percentage calculator and a split bill calculator, it's designed for group dinners, shared cabs, and everyday service tipping where doing the percentage and division math at the table — or working out how much to tip — is more hassle than it's worth.

How It Works

You enter the bill amount and pick a tip percentage — either a quick preset chip (10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%) or a custom value — and this gratuity calculator computes the tip as Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100). Adding the tip to the bill gives the total, which this restaurant tip calculator then divides evenly across the number of people you specify to give an exact tip per person and total per person. An optional "round up" setting rounds the total to the nearest whole currency unit and adjusts the tip amount to match, which is handy for simpler cash payments when you split the bill with a group.

Why It Matters

Tip amounts and per-person splits are easy to get wrong under time pressure, especially in a group bill split, in a different currency, or after a few drinks. A clear per-person breakdown of bill, tip, and total avoids awkward under- or over-payment and makes it simple to split the bill among friends or coworkers, whether you're settling up after dinner or dividing a delivery order.

Tips for Accurate Results

• Decide upfront whether you're tipping on the pre-tax or post-tax amount — both are common, but consistency matters more than which one you pick.
• Check local tipping norms before traveling — 15–20% is standard in the US when working out how much to tip, but tipping is more modest or already included as a service charge in many other countries.
• For itemized splits where people ordered different amounts, calculate each person's item total separately and use this bill splitter only to divide shared items or the tip evenly.
• For a large group bill split, double-check the number of people entered before relying on the per-person total — it's the easiest input to mistype when everyone's talking at once.
