How to split a restaurant bill with tip

Educational guide · Updated · About 5 min read

An even split is the simplest group model: one tip percent on the shared bill, then divide the grand total equally. It ignores who ordered what—use a different method if the group wants itemized fairness.

Steps

  1. Agree on a tip percent (or use presets in the calculator).
  2. Compute tip and total with tip.
  3. Divide total by the number of people.

Sample

$150 · 18% · 4 people → about $27.00 tip, $177.00 total, $44.25 each. Open sample
