Anchors change tips
When a receipt prints suggested tip lines (18/20/25%), diners tend to pick the middle—even if they normally tip less. Anchoring works at dinner tables too.

🍽️ 5 Fun Facts about Splitting Bills
Quantity glitches add up
Adding “2 × 14” instead of “14” silently doubles a line item. Itemized splitters catch these before the card hits the reader.
Error catching
Rounding keeps the peace
Rounding to the nearest 0.05 or whole unit reduces “who owes the extra penny?” debates, especially with mobile pay links.
Smooth checkout
Tip pooling changes strategy
Restaurants that pool tips across servers and bar staff sometimes see steadier service pacing—less rush to “turn tables,” more focus on even coverage.
Service dynamics
Global norms vary wildly
Splitting and tipping is second nature in North America, but in Japan or some EU countries the tip may be refused. Always check local custom before insisting on a split-and-tip.

About This Restaurant Bill Splitter & Tip Calculator
Splitting a restaurant bill should feel easy, not awkward. This calculator helps you divide a shared check, add a tip, and see what each person owes in a clear, friendly layout. Whether you are out with friends, hosting a group dinner, or traveling with coworkers, it takes the guesswork out of calculating totals and ensures everyone pays a fair share.
The idea is simple: you enter the items on the bill, set a tip, and choose how many people are splitting the cost. The calculator totals the items, applies the tip (either as a percentage or a fixed amount), and then divides everything evenly. If you want to keep things extra accurate, you can list items separately, add quantities, and let the tool do the math without rounding errors or mental calculations at the table.
How to Use the Calculator
- Add each item from the receipt as a separate row, such as a meal, appetizer, or drink.
- Enter the price and optional quantity for each item.
- Choose a tip style: percentage or fixed amount. If you enter a fixed tip, it overrides the percentage.
- Enter the number of people splitting the bill.
- Review the subtotal, tip amount, total, and per-person share.
Example: A group orders three entrees at $18 each and two drinks at $6 each. The subtotal is $66. If you add a 20% tip, the total becomes $79.20. Split among four people, that comes to $19.80 each. If you prefer to leave a fixed $15 tip instead, the total becomes $81 and each person pays $20.25. This kind of quick comparison makes it easy to choose a tip that feels right for the service and the occasion.
This calculator is especially useful for group meals, birthdays, and travel, where splitting the bill evenly keeps the process simple. It is also handy if your group wants to keep tips consistent across multiple checks or if you want a quick estimate of how much to budget before you go out to eat. You can treat it as a tip calculator, a bill splitter, or both.
All calculations run in your browser for privacy, and you can update items or tip amounts instantly to see how the totals change. It is a fast, stress-free way to handle restaurant checks without pulling out a calculator app or doing math on the receipt.
