💸 Split Bill Calculator — Quick Intro
Use this split bill calculator to divide a check, include tip, and apply rounding rules with confidence.
First, enter the bill total and the number of people. Then, choose a tip preset or type a custom percent, and finally press Calculate. This calculator computes per‑person subtotals, allocates tip proportionally, and supports itemization for different orders.
Required fields: Bill total & People. Optional fields: Tip %, Itemize, Currency, Payer names. Quick tip: select a tip preset for faster results, or enter a custom value for exact calculation.
When to itemize: enable itemize if group members ordered different dishes. Otherwise, leave it off for a simple equal split. For cash payments, use per‑person rounding to avoid coins and assign leftover cents with the Balance setting.

📊 Split Bill Calculator — Details & Examples
⚙ How it works
The calculator totals itemized lines when itemization is enabled. Remaining non-item amounts split equally, tips apply proportionally, and rounding rules adjust each payer’s total. Leftover cents can be assigned to a chosen payer for precision.
💵 Rounding modes
Choose no rounding for exact cents, per-person rounding for simple cash payments, or round-total-then-split for group totals. Assign leftover cents with the Balance option to finalize amounts.
📝 Practical examples
Example: bill = 125, people = 2, tip = 10%. Each person’s total shows numerically and in words. For unequal orders, enable itemize and assign items to payers for precise calculation.
