Tip Per Person Calculator (Group Split)

Our Tip Per Person Calculator (Group Split) helps you split restaurant bills and tips fairly among any group size. Enter the bill total, select a tip percentage (10-25% or custom), specify the number of people, and choose a rounding preference. For uneven splits, enter each person's individual item subtotals and the calculator proportionally distributes the tip. The result is a clear per-person breakdown showing each person's share of the bill, tip, and total.

For equal splits: the bill total is multiplied by the tip percentage to get the tip amount (e.g., $85.50 × 18% = $15.39). The grand total ($100.89) is divided by the number of people ($100.89 ÷ 4 = $25.22 each). Rounding adjusts each person's share to the nearest $1, $5, or $10. For uneven splits: each person's item subtotal as a proportion of the total determines their share of the tip. Someone who ordered $40 of food pays a larger share of the tip than someone who ordered $15.

Standard US dining tipping is 15-20% of the pre-tax bill. 18% has become the modern standard for good service. For large parties (6+), many restaurants automatically add 18% gratuity - check your bill before adding additional tip. When splitting unevenly, the tip is typically distributed proportionally to each person's order total, not split equally. Rounding up to the nearest dollar or $5 makes cash splitting simple. Always tip on the pre-tax amount for accuracy.
