Split bills and expenses easily among friends. Calculate individual shares with tips included.
Splitting bills can be tricky, especially when dining out with friends or sharing group expenses. Our calculator makes it simple to divide costs fairly and accurately, ensuring everyone pays their share.
The simplest method where the total bill (including tip) is divided equally among all people.
Best for: Group dinners where everyone ordered similarly priced items
Each person pays for exactly what they ordered, plus their share of tax and tip.
Best for: When people ordered very different priced items or some didn't drink alcohol
Split based on what each person consumed, with shared items divided equally.
Best for: Mixed situations with both individual and shared items
Manually assign different amounts to different people based on specific circumstances.
Best for: Special occasions or when someone is treating others
Scenario: Group of 6 friends dining out with a $180 bill
Solution: Add 18% tip ($32.40), total $212.40, each person pays $35.40
Tip: Round to $36 per person for easier payment
Scenario: 4 friends sharing accommodation, food, and activities
Solution: Track all expenses, sum total, divide by 4 at trip end
Tip: Use a shared expense tracking app to log costs in real-time
Scenario: Team ordering lunch delivery with varying meal prices
Solution: Each person pays for their meal + proportional share of delivery fee and tip
Tip: One person orders and collects money via payment app
Scenario: Roommates splitting utilities and groceries
Solution: Equal split for shared utilities, proportional for groceries based on usage
Tip: Set up automatic monthly payments to avoid repeated calculations
Modern payment apps have made bill splitting easier than ever. Apps like Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, and Zelle allow instant money transfers between friends, eliminating the need for exact change or IOUs.
Many restaurant payment systems now also support splitting bills directly at the table, allowing each person to pay their portion with their own card. This eliminates the need for one person to pay and collect money from others.
When using digital payments, always double-check the amount before sending, and include a note describing what the payment is for to avoid confusion later.
Someone Ordered Much More
Politely suggest itemized splitting or ask if they'd be comfortable paying a bit more. Most people understand and appreciate the fairness.
Someone Can't Afford Their Share
If you're comfortable, offer to cover them this time. Otherwise, suggest ordering less expensive items or choosing a more affordable restaurant next time.
Disagreement on Tip Amount
Agree on a standard percentage (18-20%) beforehand. If someone wants to tip more, they can add extra to their portion.
Someone Forgot Their Wallet
Cover them this time and arrange for them to pay you back via payment app later. Keep track of who owes what.
