Tip Calculator

Read full description

Splitting a check should take ten seconds, not ten minutes. Tip Calculator & Bill Split does the math the moment you type. Enter the total, pick a tip, and see exactly what each person owes — no mental arithmetic at the end of a long dinner. ITEMIZED SPLITTING Not everyone ordered the same thing. Add each item, assign it to whoever ordered it, and mark shared plates to divide automatically. Appetizers split four ways, someone's steak on their own tab, two people on the bottle of wine — it all works out to the cent. TIP THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY TIP - Pre-tax tip: calculate on the subtotal, not on the tax - Effective tip %: see what you're really tipping after rounding - Round up or round down to a clean number - Any custom percentage you want BUILT FOR SPEED The number pad opens with the app. No menus to dig through, no setup, no account. Type, split, done — before the server comes back. ALSO WORKS FOR Group trips, roommate expenses, shared deliveries, taxis, salons, hotel service — anywhere a total needs to become several smaller totals. Works fully offline. Your numbers stay on your device.
