How to split a ₹2500 restaurant bill among 5 people with 10% tip and 5% tax?

Enter individual item costs, 5 people, 10% tip, 5% tax. The calculator will sum items, add tax, then tip, and finally divide the total based on item shares. Example: ₹2500 subtotal + ₹125 tax (5%) = ₹2625. Then + ₹262.5 tip (10%) = ₹2887.50 total. Each person pays their share of items + proportional tax/tip. You can also select the currency symbol to ₹ for Indian Rupees.

Can I split rent unevenly based on room sizes?

Yes! Enter rent as a single item, and then for each person, select them and manually adjust their share amount for that item. Alternatively, use 'Itemized Bill' to enter individual item costs (e.g., room A, room B) and assign them. For a ₹30,000 rent with 3 rooms (200, 150, 100 sq.ft): you can enter 3 items, then manually adjust the person's amount per item to reflect the ratio.

The Stress-Free Guide to Splitting Bills Fairly

Group of friends laughing while reviewing restaurant bill and calculating shares — Keep the fun going by eliminating bill-splitting headaches.

Between shared appetizers, different entrees, and those who had cocktails versus soft drinks, splitting the bill fairly can turn a pleasant gathering into a math nightmare. Our smart bill divider goes beyond simple division, accounting for who ordered what, tax variations, and even tip percentages - so everyone pays exactly what they owe without the awkwardness.

Why Simple Division Creates Problems

Common bill-splitting frustrations:

Unequal Orders

Why should someone who ordered salad pay the same as the steak eater?

Tax & Tip Confusion

Should the 20% tip be on the total or individual shares? What about tax distribution?

Payment Methods

Some pay cash, others Venmo - who covers the shortfall?

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the itemized bill feature?

Enter the "Number of People" first. Then, for each item, enter its name (optional) and amount. Use the checkboxes next to each person's name to select who shared that specific item. Click "Add Item" for more entries. The calculator will automatically distribute the item's cost, along with tax and tip, among the selected people.

How are tax and tip calculated and distributed?

Tax is calculated on the subtotal (sum of all item amounts). Tip is then calculated on the subtotal *plus* the tax. The total tax and total tip amounts are proportionally distributed among all people who were selected for at least one item. If no one is selected for an item, that item's cost (plus its share of tax/tip) will not be distributed.

Can I split a single item unequally?

The current itemized split divides each item equally among the selected people. If you need to split a single item unevenly (e.g., one person pays 60% for a pizza), you can add the pizza as two separate items (e.g., "Pizza - Person A share", "Pizza - Person B share") with their respective amounts.

What happens if an item is entered but no one is selected for it?

If an item has an amount but no one is selected to share it, that item's cost (and its proportional share of tax/tip) will not be included in anyone's final total. Ensure at least one person is selected for each item you wish to split.
