Split the Bill Calculator

By the CalcMundi team · Updated October 22, 2026 · Formulas checked against standard financial math

Enter the bill, how much was alcohol, how many people were at the table and how many drank.

How it is split

Food and soft drinks are shared by everyone. Alcoholic drinks are split only among those who drank. The tip is added to each share.

Example

A $240 bill with $60 of drinks, 5 people, 3 of whom drank, and an 18% tip: drinkers pay $66.08 each and non-drinkers $42.48.

Frequently asked questions

Should the tip be on the total before tax?

Many people tip on the pre-tax amount. Enter the bill before tax if that is what you prefer.
