Even Split Formula
Per person = (Bill + Tip) ÷ Number of people
Example: $120 bill, 20% tip ($24), 4 people = $144 ÷ 4 = $36 per person.
When the Split Is Unequal
Some people ordered more, or some don't drink. The fairest approach:
- Each person notes their items total
- Calculate each person's share of the tip proportionally
- Add individually: items + proportional tip + tax
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you split a bill unevenly?
Tally each person's items, then calculate their proportional share of the tip and tax. Most bill-splitting apps like Splitwise or Venmo handle this automatically.
Should tip be divided equally even if people ordered differently?
Common practice is to divide tip equally since it's based on service, not what each person ordered. For large groups, confirm everyone agrees before splitting.
