Split the check the fair way

Assign each menu item to the people who ordered it, share appetizers evenly, and let tax and tip follow each person’s share — or use Joint Split for equal, exact, percent, or share-based totals. Everything stays in your browser.

Split Bill Calculator helps a group turn a restaurant check into an understandable amount for each person. Itemized mode lets you assign dishes and shared plates, while Joint Split is faster when only the total matters. Tax and tip can be percentages or flat amounts and are allocated according to each person’s share rather than silently dividing everything by headcount. The calculation runs in this browser and can be copied or printed. Check the receipt and local customs before collecting payment. Designed for restaurants and group orders where people share appetizers but keep their own mains. Assign each line item, split shared plates evenly, then apply tax and tip once so nobody recalculates by hand. Totals stay on this device unless you screenshot or copy them; do not paste card numbers or private phone contacts into item labels. [batch-a-home-pass-2026-11-13]

Quick start

1. Choose Itemized or Joint Split on the main stage (or in Options).
2. Add or rename people in Options — each person gets a color used on chips and result cards.
3. Itemized: add rows with name + price, then tap person chips to assign. Shared items split evenly among selected people only. Rows with nobody tagged show an amber “Unassigned” note.
4. Set tax (% or flat) and tip (presets, custom %, or flat). Tip defaults to the US pre-tax convention; switch to post-tax if you tip on the taxed total. Tax and tip are allocated proportionally to each person’s item subtotal — not by headcount.

When to use something else

• Shared dinner: Assign two entrees to their diners and split an appetizer between three people.
• Simple check: Use Joint Split with percentages when everyone already agreed on their shares.

Limitations

• The calculator does not process payments, verify a receipt, or resolve disputes about who ordered an item.

FAQ

How do shared appetizers get split?

Mark shared lines and assign them to everyone who partook; the tool divides those amounts evenly among assignees while keeping personal mains on one person. That avoids the “everyone pays the same” shortcut when orders differ a lot.

Where do tax and tip apply?

Apply tax and tip once across the check after items are assigned, so percentages match the receipt instead of stacking per person incorrectly. Adjust if your locality taxes tip differently—treat the fields as helpers, not legal advice.

Do you store my meal details?

Totals stay in this browser session unless you copy or screenshot them. Do not paste card numbers, full account IDs, or private phone contacts into item labels.

Can I handle more than two people?

Yes—add as many diners as you need for the table. Rename people to first names only if you will screenshot the summary for the group chat.
