Splitting dinner shouldn’t need a group meeting.
The meal was great. Then the check arrives, someone pulls out a calculator, and three people are arguing over pennies.
Use the real receipt numbers, pick how to calculate the tip, and I’ll split the total without leaving stray cents behind.
Tip and split the check
Enter the amounts from your receipt. All values stay on your phone; no sign-in.
Tip before tax or after tax?
People handle this differently. One way is to calculate the tip on the food and drink subtotal, before sales tax. Others use the full amount including tax. This calculator shows which rule you chose instead of quietly assuming one.
In some restaurants an automatic gratuity or service charge appears on the bill, especially for larger groups. Check what it covers and whether an additional tip is expected before calculating a second amount.
Why splitting to the cent can be awkward
If three people split a $100 total, dividing gives $33.333… each. You can’t pay one-third of a penny. A sensible answer is two people paying $33.33 and one paying $33.34. That’s what this tool handles for you.
When one diner pays for a shared appetizer or someone had an especially expensive meal, an even split might not be the fairest choice. Add up the actual individual items instead, then allocate tax and tip by agreement.
