Bill split calculator (with tip)
Split a restaurant bill among friends, including the tip, and see how much each person pays.
How the calculation works
Splitting the bill takes two steps: add the tip to the total, then divide by the number of people.
per person = (bill + bill × tip%) ÷ people
Step-by-step example
Bill of R$200, 10% service, 4 people:
- With service: 200 × 1.10 = R$220
- Per person: 220 ÷ 4 = R$55
Equal vs proportional split
An equal split assumes everyone spent similarly — fair for shared orders. If someone ordered much more, the usual deal is each pays their own consumption and only the service charge is shared proportionally.
Tip to avoid coming up short
When the per-person amount isn't round, round up. Small surpluses cover imprecision — better a little over than short.
Examples
- Bill R$300, 10%, 5 people: total R$330, R$66 each.
- Bill R$150 no tip, 3 people: R$50 each.
Frequently asked questions
Is the tip mandatory?
In Brazil the 10% service charge is optional — adjust or zero the tip field.
How to split when each spent a different amount?
Fairest is each paying their own consumption and sharing only the service charge proportionally. Equal split fits shared orders.
Add the tip before or after dividing?
Mathematically it is the same. Adding first and dividing the total is the simplest path.
Is the 10% service charge mandatory?
No. In Brazil the service charge is optional — a suggested tip, not a compulsory fee.
How do we split when consumption differed?
Use a mixed model: split shared items equally and charge individual items separately.
Should I round up or down?
Always up. A small surplus is harmless; a shortfall means someone covering the gap in front of everyone.
