Bill Splitter & Tip Calculator
How to Split a Bill Fairly
Whether you are dining out with friends or splitting household utilities, calculating exactly how much each person owes can become complicated when tips and service charges are involved. A Bill Splitter Calculator simplifies this process, ensuring no one is overcharged and the service staff receives their fair share.
If your total dinner bill is $150.00, you want to leave a 20% tip, and you are splitting the cost among 5 people:
1. Total Tip: $150 × 0.20 = $30.00
2. Total Amount: $150 + $30 = $180.00
3. Per Person: $180 / 5 = $36.00
Standard Tipping Guidelines
While tipping customs vary by country, here are the common standards for service in North America:
- 15%: Standard service at a casual restaurant.
- 18%: Good, attentive service.
- 20%+: Exceptional service or fine dining.
- 10%: Minimal service or buffet style.
