How the split is calculated
First the calculator works out the tip. By default it's a percentage of the bill before tax, which is how most people tip. Then it adds the bill, tax, and tip together to get the total.
For an even split, the total is divided by the number of people. When it doesn't divide perfectly, the leftover cents are handed out one at a time, so a few people pay a single cent more and the shares always add up to the exact total. With uneven shares, everyone pays in proportion to their shares — 2 shares means twice as much as 1.
- Bill
- $84.00
- Tax
- $7.14
- Tip (18% of $84.00)
- $15.12
- Total
- $106.26
- $106.26 ÷ 4
- $26.565 each
- 2 people pay
- $26.57
- 2 people pay
- $26.56
The two extra cents land on two people, and $26.57 + $26.57 + $26.56 + $26.56 = $106.26 exactly. If a couple at the same table counts as 2 shares, they pay $53.13 together and the other two pay $26.57 and $26.56.
