Enter what each person actually ordered, plus a tip percentage, to see everyone’s fair share, tip included proportionally.
Splitting a bill evenly isn’t fair when one person ordered a salad and another ordered steak. This tool splits the tip proportionally based on what each person actually spent, so everyone pays their fair share.
Uneven Bill Splitter
One person per line, as Name: Amount (e.g. Alex: 22.50)
Tip Percentage:
How the Proportional Split Works
Each person’s tip share is calculated based on the percentage of the total bill their own order represents. Someone who ordered 40% of the total bill pays 40% of the tip, rather than an equal split regardless of what they ordered.
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter one person per line as Name: Amount, using their order subtotal before tip.
- Tip Percentage: the total tip percentage for the whole table.
- Click Split the Bill to see each person’s total, item cost plus their proportional share of the tip.
Example: Alex ($22.50), Sam ($15.00), and Jordan ($30.25) with an 18% tip each pay their own subtotal plus their share of the $12.20 total tip, proportional to what they ordered.
Did You Know?
- Some groups add a shared item (like an appetizer or a bottle of wine) by splitting its cost evenly first, then adding each person’s individual order on top before running the proportional tip split.
- Many restaurants automatically add an 18-20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more, so it’s worth checking the receipt before adding an extra tip on top.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t want to use names?
You can enter just the amount on each line without a colon, and the tool will label each one Person 1, Person 2, and so on.
Does this include tax?
Enter pre-tax amounts if you want the tip calculated on the food cost alone, or after-tax amounts if the tip should be based on the taxed total; use whichever matches how your group wants to tip.
Can I use this for more than a few people?
Yes, add as many lines as needed; the calculator processes any number of people.
