Tip & Bill Splitter

This tip calculator and bill splitter is for the end of a meal, when the bill arrives and someone has to do the sums. Type the amount on the receipt, pick a tip, say how many of you there are, and you get the tip, the total and each person’s share straight away, with a table showing who pays what.

It also handles the awkward nights. Split by items when one friend had a salad and another had the steak: everyone pays for their own order, anything shared is divided equally, and the tip is shared in proportion. Split by shares when a couple pays as one or a child counts as half. You can also tip on the amount before tax and round up each share or the whole bill, and the shares always add up to the cent.

There is also a short, honest guide to tipping customs in 16 countries, from the US to Japan, with a button that sets a sensible tip for you. Everything runs in your browser, so the numbers and names you type never leave your device.

1. Type the bill amount from the receipt. The currency is picked from your browser’s region; change it in the box underneath if you need to.
2. Tap a tip button such as 15% or 20%, or type your own percentage. Tick “Work out the tip on the amount before tax” and enter the tax if you’d rather not tip on the tax.
3. Set the number of people with the − and + buttons, then choose Evenly, By items or By shares.
4. For an uneven split, fill in each person’s items or shares in the “Who pays what” table. Names are optional.
5. Choose “Round each up” or “Round total up” if you want tidy amounts, then tap “Copy summary” to paste the result into your group chat.

• Tip buttons for 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 18%, 20% and 25%, plus any custom percentage from 0 to 100.
• Tip on the amount before tax, with the tax amount taken from your receipt.
• Split evenly between 1 and 50 people, with the odd cent shown fairly when a total won’t divide exactly.
• Split by items: each person pays for what they ordered, shared extras are divided equally, and the tip follows each person’s spend.
• Split by shares, such as 2 for a couple, 0.5 for a child or 0 for someone being treated.
• Round each person up or round the whole total up, to the nearest 0.10, 0.50, 1, 5 or 10 (or 1, 10, 100 or 1,000 for currencies without cents, such as yen), with the real tip percentage shown afterwards.
• Thirty currencies with correct symbols and decimal places.
• A tipping customs guide for 16 countries with a one-tap suggested tip, and a copyable summary.

• Check the bill for a service charge before you tip. In the UK, Singapore and many tourist areas it is often already added, and paying a tip on top means tipping twice.
• Rounding up adds to the tip, not the bill. The “Tip as a %” box shows what you are really leaving once rounding is included, so a 15% tip can quietly become 17%.
• When splitting by items, you only need to enter what each person had to themselves. Leave shared dishes out and the difference is split equally for you.
• In items mode with “tip before tax” ticked, enter menu prices before tax. The tax is then shared in proportion along with everything else.
