The Bill Split Formula
Grand Total = Subtotal + Tax + Tip
Per Person = Grand Total ÷ Number of People
Even Split vs. Itemized Split
This calculator performs an even split — everyone pays the same amount regardless of what they individually ordered. For groups where people ordered very different amounts, an itemized split (where each person pays for their own items plus a proportional share of tax and tip) may feel fairer, though it requires more detailed calculation per person.
Common Uses
