Bill Split with Tax Calculator

About this calculator

Splitting a restaurant bill correctly means applying tax and tip to the pre-tax subtotal first, then dividing the resulting total by the number of people — a step people often skip by tipping on the post-tax total or by dividing the printed total evenly without checking how tax and tip were calculated, which can leave the group over- or under-paying compared to what they actually ordered.

Groups splitting a check evenly use this to get one fair per-person number that already accounts for local sales tax rates and a chosen tip percentage, which is especially useful in places where sales tax varies significantly or where guests are used to tipping on the subtotal rather than the tax-inclusive total.

This calculator takes your bill subtotal, tax rate, tip percentage, and number of people and returns the exact amount each person owes.
