How to Split a Restaurant Bill

Splitting a restaurant bill is one of the most universal dining experiences - and one of the most awkward when nobody has a plan. There are three main approaches:

1. Even split: Everyone pays an equal share of the total including tip. Simplest and fastest - use our main calculator at the top.
2. Proportional split: Each person pays based on what they ordered, plus their proportional share of the tip. Use the split bill calculator above.
3. Item-by-item: Each person pays for exactly their items and a proportional tip. Most fair, most work.

For most friend groups, an even split works fine unless order values vary wildly. The proportional split calculator above handles the math so you can focus on enjoying the meal.
