How to Split a Restaurant Bill with Tip
Splitting the dinner check evenly is the simplest approach for most groups. Here's the method:
- Enter the full restaurant bill total (everyone's food and drinks combined)
- Choose a tip percentage for the table
- Set the number of people splitting
- The calculator shows the total + tip, divided equally per person
Enable Round up to $1 in Advanced options so each person pays a whole dollar amount — this avoids awkward change and often results in a slightly better tip for the server.
Splitting a Dinner or Food Bill When People Ordered Different Amounts
This calculator splits the full bill evenly. If your group wants to pay for their individual items, calculate each person's share separately:
- Calculate the tip percentage on the full bill to get a tip-per-dollar rate
- Each person pays their own food cost × (1 + tip rate)
Example: $100 total restaurant bill, 20% tip, 4 people — but one person ordered $40 worth. Their share = $40 × 1.20 = $48. The others split the remaining $72 three ways ($24 each).

Should the tip be split equally when splitting a restaurant check?
