The Smartest Way to Settle the Bill

Dining out with friends is great, but splitting the bill can be awkward and complicated. Our Tip Calculator & Bill Splitter is a powerful, interactive tool that takes the guesswork out of the equation. It allows you to itemize the bill, assign items to different people, and fairly distribute shared items, tax, and tip. The result is a clear, accurate breakdown of what each person owes, ensuring a smooth and fair end to your meal.

How It Works: Itemized and Proportional Splitting

Unlike basic calculators that just divide the total by the number of people, our tool uses a more sophisticated, item-based approach for ultimate fairness.

  1. Add People and Items: Start by adding the names of the people in your group and each item from the receipt with its price.
  2. Assign Items: Click on an item and then click on the person who ordered it. The item will be assigned, and a color-coded dot will appear. Shared items can be left unassigned.
  3. Automatic Calculation: The tool calculates each person's subtotal based on their assigned items. It then splits the cost of shared items, the tax, and the tip proportionally based on each person's share of the subtotal.
  4. View the Final Split: The final breakdown shows exactly what each person owes, including their share of the food, tax, and tip.
