Frequently asked questions
What if people ordered different amounts?
This calculator splits evenly. For unequal splitting, divide the total manually per person.
Should tip be calculated before or after tax?
Either is acceptable, though pre-tax is more common and slightly cheaper.
Can I use this for non-restaurant bills?
Absolutely. It works for any shared expense: utilities, rent, group purchases, etc.
