🎓 Pro Tip: For quick 20% tip mental math: move the decimal one place left (10%), then double it. $50 bill → 10% = $5 → 20% = $10. For 15%: calculate 10% ($5) + 5% ($2.50) = $7.50.

Splitting the Bill: Fair and Simple
When dining with friends or colleagues, bill splitting can be awkward. Our calculator makes it fair and transparent:
Equal split: Total bill (including tip) divided equally among all people.
Itemized split: Each person pays for what they ordered — our calculator supports equal split, which works for 90% of group dining scenarios.
Separate checks: Ask your server before ordering.
Example: $150 bill for 4 people with 20% tip
Tip: $150 × 0.20 = $30. Total: $180. Each person pays: $180 ÷ 4 = $45 (including tip).
