Split a restaurant bill
Enter the bill, an optional tip, then what each person ordered: the tool splits the total in proportion to each order, down to the cent.

Enter the amounts to see the split.
Every share includes its portion of the tip and shared extras. The shares add up exactly to the amount paid.
Everything is computed in your browser: nothing is stored or sent.
Whole-cent arithmetic with a largest-remainder distribution of the leftovers: the shares are checked against the total by automated tests.
For tracking several expenses over time, with your friends.
Proportional beats equal when orders differ
Splitting evenly is fast, but it stops being fair as soon as orders differ: a side salad is not a three-course meal with wine. A proportional split gives each person the weight of their own order in the bill.
The rule is simple: each share equals the amount that person ordered divided by the sum of all orders, applied to the total actually paid. Shared extras and the tip follow the same proportion.
How the tip is handled
A tip entered as a percentage applies to the subtotal of the bill plus shared extras. It is then split in the same proportion as the orders, so whoever ordered most carries the larger part of the tip.
If you would rather split the tip evenly, add it as a shared extra instead, or enter order amounts that already include each person's tip.
The cents always add up
A bill of 100.01 between three people does not divide exactly. The tool gives the leftover cent or cents to the shares that were rounded down the most, so the shares add up to exactly what you paid at the restaurant.
Frequently asked questions
Should I include tax?
Yes: enter the amounts as printed on the bill, taxes included. The split is proportional, so it stays correct however tax is presented.
What if someone ordered nothing?
Leave their amount at zero: they get no share of the bill and no share of the tip.
Are my amounts stored?
No. Everything is computed in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server or saved; reloading the page clears the tool.
