Overview & Explanation

The bill split calculator calculates the exact individual share of a group meal including tax and gratuity.

How It Works

Calculate total bill including tip.
Divide total by number of people.

Practical Applications

Group dining expenses.
Shared party catering bills.

Splitting evenly

The simplest split divides the final total, including taxes, service charge and tip, by the number of people. A ₹4,800 restaurant bill with 5% GST becomes ₹5,040; split four ways, each person pays ₹1,260.

Round up to a convenient amount and let the extra cover the tip, or agree who pays the small rounding difference so the total still matches the bill.

Splitting by what each person ordered

When orders differ a lot, a proportional split is fairer. Add up each person's items, then share tax, service charge and tip in the same proportion. If one diner's food is ₹1,800 of a ₹4,800 subtotal, they ordered 37.5%, so they pay 37.5% of the ₹5,040 total, or ₹1,890.

Shared dishes can be divided equally among the people who ate them before working out each person's share.

Avoiding disputes

Decide the method before ordering, especially with large groups. Check whether a service charge is already included so the tip is not paid twice. For trips and shared flats with many expenses, record who paid what and settle the net balances at the end rather than splitting every bill separately.
