Split Bill Calculator makes dividing the check at the end of dinner simple and accurate. Calculating an 18% tip on $174.30 across 5 people is hard to do mentally, but this tool handles the gratuity and bill division in one step.
The tip is calculated on the bill before being divided, which is the convention everywhere. Per-person totals are rounded to two decimal places, so the rounding "stub" lands on whichever person pays by card while others transfer their fair share.
(Bill × (1 + tip/100)) ÷ number of people, rounded to two decimal places. The tip is calculated on the pre-tip subtotal, not on the bill including tax - which matches US convention. In countries where tax is included in the menu price, this is the right formula.
It varies by country: 18–20% is standard in the US, 10–15% in the UK and Australia (and often added as a service charge already), 5–10% in much of continental Europe, and 0% in Japan, China and South Korea where tipping can be considered insulting.
The per-person figure is rounded to two decimal places. If you want exact division to the cent, give the largest "share" to the person who paid by card and let the others Venmo round numbers - most groups don't care about the missing 1¢.
This calculator does even splits only. For itemised splitting, total each person's items separately, then run the tip calculation on each subtotal individually before summing.
