Uneven Bill Split by Item

Split a shared bill fairly when each person ordered different items, including tax and tip.

Uneven Bill Split by Item

Split a restaurant bill fairly when everyone ordered different things. Each person's item subtotal determines their proportional share of the tax and tip too.

Inputs explained

  • Each person's items subtotal Comma-separated subtotals of what each person ordered, e.g. 32.50, 18.75, 24.00.
  • Tax amount The tax shown on the bill, split proportionally.
  • Tip Tip percentage applied to the pre-tax subtotal, split proportionally.

Understanding the result

Example: For subtotals of 32.50, 18.75, and 24.00 with $6 tax and an 18% tip, the grand total is $94.80 and person 1 owes $40.94.

Frequently asked questions

Why does person 1 owe more than a simple even split of the total? Because tax and tip are allocated proportionally to each person's item subtotal, someone who ordered more expensive items pays a larger share of both, not just an equal fraction of the total bill.

Is this the same as splitting the bill evenly among everyone? No, an even split ignores what each person actually ordered; this calculator ties each person's tax and tip share to their own subtotal for a fairer result.
