Bill Split Calculator
Four people, a ₹2,460 dinner and a 10% tip comes to ₹680 each, rounded up to the next ₹10. Switch to shares or itemised mode when an equal split isn't fair.
Amounts are split in whole paise so the shares always add up to the grand total. Names are saved only in your browser.
Dinner for four, roughly the same orders
The bill is ₹2,460 and the table agrees on a 10% tip, ₹246, so the grand total is ₹2,706. Divided four ways that's exactly ₹676.50 each. Nobody wants to send ₹676.50 on UPI, so round up: at the nearest ₹10 everyone pays ₹680, which collects ₹2,720 and leaves ₹14 over for the tip or for whoever paid. Rounding to the nearest ₹1 instead gives ₹677 each and only ₹2 extra. If the group would rather leave a flat ₹200, switch the tip to a rupee amount and it's ₹665 a head.
The calculator always rounds up, never down. Rounding down would leave the person who paid the bill a few rupees short.
When one person only had soup
Asha's own dishes came to ₹400, Ravi's to ₹250 and Meena's to ₹150. They also shared starters and a dessert worth ₹600. Choose "By items", put ₹600 in shared items and each person's own amount against their name. The shared ₹600 becomes ₹200 each, so their parts of the bill are ₹600, ₹450 and ₹350.
If the bill then adds 5% tax, that ₹70 is shared in the same proportion: ₹30, ₹22.50 and ₹17.50. Asha pays ₹630, Ravi ₹472.50 and Meena ₹367.50, which adds up to the ₹1,470 total. Split equally, each would have paid ₹490, and Meena would have covered ₹122.50 of other people's food.
Two couples and a friend share a holiday home
The stay costs ₹18,000. With "By shares", give each couple 2 shares and the friend 1. That's 5 shares of ₹3,600, so each couple pays ₹7,200 and the friend ₹3,600. Shares don't have to be whole numbers; 0.5 for a child works too.
The flat's electricity bill, when one room has the AC
Three flatmates get a ₹3,600 bill. One of them runs an air conditioner most nights, and an equal ₹1,200 each doesn't feel right to the other two. Estimate the AC's share first with the AC electricity cost calculator; say it comes to about ₹1,200 for the month. In item mode, enter ₹1,200 as the AC user's own item and the remaining ₹2,400 as shared. The AC user pays ₹2,000 and the other two ₹800 each.
The same approach works for a geyser, a gaming PC or anything else one person uses heavily. The appliance electricity cost calculator estimates those, and the electricity bill calculator shows how the bill itself was built up from units and slabs.
The service charge line
Under guidelines issued by the Central Consumer Protection Authority in 2022, which the Delhi High Court upheld in March 2025, a restaurant can't add a service charge automatically, can't collect it under another name, and has to tell you it's voluntary. In January 2026 the authority acted against restaurants that kept charging it by default. So if a bill shows a service charge you didn't agree to, you can ask for it to be taken off. If you're happy to pay it, put it in the tip box so it's shared along with everything else. GST lines on the bill are a separate matter; the GST calculator shows how much of an inclusive bill is tax.
Where the odd paise go
₹1,000 can't be split three ways in whole paise. The calculator gives ₹333.34 to one person and ₹333.33 to the other two. Each leftover paisa goes to whoever had the biggest fraction cut off, and on a tie to the person higher in the list, so the shares always add up to the exact total and nobody is out by more than a paisa.
Frequently asked questions
The bill already shows CGST and SGST. What do I enter?
Enter the final amount printed on the bill and leave the tax box at 0. Only add a tax rate if the amount you typed is before tax, for example when you are splitting from menu prices.
Is the tip worked out before or after tax?
A percentage tip here is taken on the bill amount before tax, and no tax is charged on the tip. If you'd rather leave a round figure, switch the tip to a rupee amount.
Are the names I type sent anywhere?
No. Names and amounts stay in your browser, which remembers them for your next visit on the same device. Clear your browser's site data to remove them.
