Questions people ask
How do you add a tip and split a restaurant bill between friends?
Enter the bill amount, choose a tip of none, 5%, 10% or 15% or type your own, and say how many people are sharing. The tool shows each person's share and the total with tip. Tick 'Round each share up' to get whole rupees that are easy to pay, and it shows how much extra the rounding adds.
- 0-15% Quick tips. Or type your own.
- Per head Each person pays. Split evenly.
- Round up Whole rupees. Easy to pay.
- 0 Sign-up. Just type.
How much should I tip in India?
There's no fixed rule. Many diners leave 5 to 10% when no service charge is already on the bill, and more for excellent service. Check the bill first, because some restaurants add a service charge, and you don't need to tip twice. Tips for delivery partners are usually a small fixed amount.
Is the tip calculated before or after GST?
On whatever amount you enter. Type the total bill with GST if you want the tip on that, or the amount before GST if you prefer. Both are common. The difference is small: on a ₹2,000 meal with 5% GST, a 10% tip differs by only ₹10 between the two.
Why round each share up?
Whole-rupee amounts make paying by UPI or cash easier and avoid awkward paise. The tool rounds each person's share up and shows the 'extra from rounding up' separately, so everyone can see what it adds. Most groups simply leave that extra as part of the tip.
Is a service charge compulsory in restaurants?
Guidelines from India's consumer authority say restaurants shouldn't add a service charge automatically or by default, and that customers can ask for it to be removed. If it's on your bill and you didn't agree to it, you can ask the restaurant to take it off.
How do I split a bill unevenly?
This tool splits evenly. For an uneven split, work out each person's items first, add their share of tax and tip, then use the percentage calculator if needed. A simpler way many groups use is to split the shared dishes evenly and pay for drinks separately.
Can I split a bill without a tip?
Yes. Choose 'None' for the tip, enter the bill and the number of people, and each share appears. It's useful for shared groceries, cab fares or a flat's electricity bill, where there's no tip at all but you still want a clean, fair split everyone agrees with.
How do I enter a custom tip?
Type any percentage from 0 to 100 in 'Or type your own tip'. That overrides the buttons above. Leave it empty to go back to the button you picked. A custom tip helps when you want to give, say, 12% or round the total up to a convenient figure.
How do friends pay their share?
Most groups in India pay by UPI. One person pays the bill and the others send their share by scanning that person's UPI QR or using their UPI ID. The rounded share from this tool makes the transfer simple. The UPI QR code generator can make a QR for collecting.
Can I use it for a trip or shared flat?
Yes. Enter the total cost of a hotel, cab or monthly bill, set the tip to none and enter the number of people. For a long trip, add up all the shared costs first and split the total once, so you don't have to transfer small amounts after every meal.
What if someone doesn't want to share the tip?
Split the bill without a tip first, then let those who want to tip add their own amount. Or work out the tip separately with the percentage calculator and divide it among those who agree. Keeping it simple and open avoids awkward moments at the table.
How many people can share?
Any whole number from 1 upwards. For one person it simply adds the tip to the bill. For large groups, such as an office lunch for 25, the tool works just the same. Check the per-person figure against the menu prices to make sure it looks right.
Does it handle paise?
Yes. Without rounding, shares are shown to the paisa. With 'Round each share up' ticked, each share goes up to the next whole rupee. For UPI payments, a share like ₹466.67 is fine to send as it is, but whole rupees are easier when paying in cash.
Is anything I enter stored?
No. The calculation runs in your browser and the amounts never reach our servers. There's no sign-up and nothing is saved after you close the page. You can split bills as often as you like without making an account or sharing your spending. Close the tab and nothing remains.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It's built for phones: tap a tip button, type the bill and the number of people, and each share appears at the top. It works in any mobile browser without an app, so you can settle the bill at the table in a few seconds and get on with your evening.
