Split the Check Calculator

Formula Used

The calculator applies discount first. Then it adds tax, tip, and fees.

Discount amount = Subtotal × Discount percent ÷ 100, or fixed discount.

Taxable subtotal = Subtotal − Discount amount.

Tax amount = Taxable subtotal × Tax percent ÷ 100, or fixed tax.

Tip amount = Selected tip base × Tip percent ÷ 100, or fixed tip.

Grand total = Taxable subtotal + Tax + Tip + Extra fees.

Equal share = Grand total ÷ Number of diners.

Custom share = Grand total × Person share ÷ Total shares.

About the Split the Check Calculator

Sharing a restaurant bill can feel simple at first. It often becomes confusing after taxes, tips, discounts, and service fees. This calculator gives each diner a clear payment amount. It is useful for friends, families, travel groups, office lunches, and event meals.

The tool supports equal splitting and weighted custom splitting. Equal splitting divides the final bill by the number of people. Custom splitting lets you enter names and shares. Shares can represent meal portions, agreed percentages, or cost weights. This helps when one person ordered more than others.

The calculator first adjusts the subtotal for any discount. Then it adds tax, tip, service charges, delivery fees, and other costs. You can enter tax as a percent or as a fixed amount. You can enter tip as a percent or as a fixed amount. Tip can be based before tax or after tax. That setting helps match common restaurant habits.

Rounding is another helpful option. Money must be paid in cents. Small rounding differences can appear when a total is divided. The tool shows a rounded per-person amount. It also shows the overall total used for the split. For custom shares, every person receives a proportional amount.

Use this calculator before sending payment requests. It can reduce awkward arguments and repeated mental math. It also helps one payer collect money after using a card. The result table is ready for saving. CSV export works well for spreadsheets. PDF export is useful for receipts, messages, or group records.

The example table shows typical bill situations. You can compare equal groups, tipped meals, and discounted checks. Always confirm the restaurant receipt before collecting payments. Taxes and fees may vary by location. Tips may also follow local custom. This calculator gives a practical estimate. It is not a legal invoice or accounting record. It is a clear guide for fair shared payments.

You can also change the currency symbol. That makes the output easier for international groups. Names make the split easier to read. Weighted shares are normalized automatically. So shares can total any positive number. For example, weights of two, one, and one charge half, quarter, and quarter. This method keeps the math flexible and transparent.
