No ads. No pop-ups. No account. Just the fastest way to settle a check. The bill lands, someone reaches for a phone, and the whole table goes quiet while one person does math. This ends that in about four taps: enter the total, add tax if you need it, pick a tip, and see exactly what everyone owes. WHAT IT DOES • Enter any bill or check total for an instant breakdown • Add tax before or after the tip — your call • Choose 15%, 18%, 20%, or set any custom percentage • Split evenly across any number of people • Assign custom shares when someone ordered more (or less) • Round the per-person total to a clean number • Change the head count and every share updates instantly BUILT FOR THE TABLE Most tip calculators are advertising with a number pad attached. You open one while holding the check, and a full-screen ad opens first. There are none here. No interstitials, no banners, no sign-up, and no numbers leaving your phone — every calculation runs on-device. PERFECT FOR • Group dinners and big, busy tables • Bar tabs split across a dozen friends • Date nights and weekday lunches • Road trips, rideshares, and shared deliveries • Roommates dividing a takeout order CLEAR ENOUGH TO HOLD UP Big, readable totals you can turn around and show the table. No squinting, no re-explaining, and no one quietly covering the difference. WHY PEOPLE KEEP IT • Fast: the whole table settled before anyone stands up • Fair: custom shares mean everyone pays for what they had • Quiet: opens straight to the number pad, every time • Private: your numbers stay on your device • Focused: one job, done properly No more "who had the appetizer?" and no more being the person who covers the gap. Pick a tip, split the check, walk out square. WHAT'S INCLUDED → Split any bill evenly with no ads and no account. Pro unlocks custom share presets, saved tip defaults, and rounding rules, as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. ——— This app offers an auto-renewable subscription (com.scalingweb.tipsplitter.yearly).
