How to split a restaurant bill fairly — the complete guide
Splitting a bill equally when everyone ordered different things is one of the most common sources of friction in group outings. Someone ordered a soft drink while others had cocktails. One person ate a light starter while another had a full three-course meal. Simple division almost always feels unfair to someone.
Why equal splitting fails
Unequal orders
Someone who ordered only dal rice should not pay the same as someone who had a full tandoor platter and dessert.
Tax and tip confusion
Should the 10% tip be on the subtotal or after tax? Should people who ordered more pay proportionally more tip?
Shared vs personal
Shared starters, bottled water, and common dishes need different treatment than individual orders.
Common uses for a bill splitter
Restaurant meals: Add each dish, assign it to who ordered it, and let the calculator work out each person's exact share including tax and tip.
Group trips: Add hotel, cab, and activity costs separately. Assign shared costs to everyone who participated and individual costs to the specific person.
Flat and household bills: Split rent, electricity, and internet fairly among flatmates. If rooms are different sizes, add each room as a separate item and assign it to the right person.
Group gifts: Collecting money for a colleague's farewell gift? Add the gift cost and assign it to everyone contributing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use the itemized bill feature?
Enter the number of people first. Then add each item with its name and amount. Tick the checkboxes for the people who shared that item. The calculator divides each item equally among the selected people, then adds their proportional share of tax and tip.
How are tax and tip calculated?
Tax is calculated on the subtotal (the sum of all item amounts). Tip is calculated on the subtotal plus tax. Both are distributed proportionally — people who spent more on their items pay a proportionally larger share of the tax and tip.
Can I split a single item unequally?
The calculator splits each item equally among the people selected for it. To split one item unequally, add it as two separate entries — for example "Pizza (Person A share)" for 60% of the amount and "Pizza (Person B share)" for 40%.
How do I split a bill with GST in India?
Select Indian Rupee as the currency, add your items, then set the tax field to 5% (the standard GST rate for most restaurants in India). The calculator will add GST to the subtotal and distribute it proportionally among everyone.
What happens if I do not select anyone for an item?
If an item has an amount but no person is selected, that item's cost is excluded from everyone's total. Always tick at least one person for each item you want included in the split.
