Instead of splitting the whole bill evenly, assign each item to whoever ordered it. Tax and tip are shared fairly based on what each person actually owes.

List everyone splitting the bill, add each item with its price, and check off who ordered it (an item can be shared by more than one person, split evenly between them). Set the tax and tip percentage once, and each person's fair share — including their portion of tax and tip — appears instantly.
An even split charges everyone the same amount regardless of what they ordered, which is unfair when orders are lopsided. This calculator instead totals what each person actually ordered (splitting shared items evenly among the people who chose them), then adds a proportional share of tax and tip based on each person's share of the subtotal.
Check off every person who shared an item (like a shared appetizer) and its cost splits evenly between just those people.
Someone who ordered a $40 steak pays more of the tax and tip than someone who ordered a $10 salad — exactly matching how it works on the actual bill.
Common questions, answered.
Each item's price is split evenly among the people checked off for it and added to their subtotal. Tax and tip are then split in proportion to each person's share of the total item subtotal, not evenly.
That item's cost is left out of everyone's total until at least one person is assigned to it, so make sure every item has at least one person checked.
Yes. Check off every person who shared it, and the calculator splits that item's price evenly between just those people.
Not directly, but you can enter an item with a negative price to represent a discount, and it will be split among the people it applies to the same way a normal item would.
