Statutory Gratuity Rule: Under FLSA 29 U.S.C. § 203(m) and 29 CFR Part 531, tips are the absolute property of employees; employers and managers are strictly barred from retaining any portion of tip pools. Standard U.S. dining gratuity benchmarks range from 15% (standard service) to 18%–20% (good service) and 22%+ (exceptional service), calculated directly on the pre-tax subtotal.

About This Calculator
What it does
The Bill Split Calculator ends the awkward end-of-meal math. Enter the pre-tax total, tip percentage, and number of people—or split itemized—and each person's share of subtotal, tax, and tip is computed instantly. Example: a $120 pre-tax bill, 20% tip, 7% tax split four ways = $32.40 each; if two friends only ordered apps, switch to itemized so nobody overpays.

Frequently asked questions
How do you split a bill evenly?
Add subtotal + tax + tip, then divide by the number of people. TipFig does this in one tap and lets you round to the nearest dollar.
Should I tip before or after tax when splitting?
Tip on the pre-tax subtotal, then add each person's share of tax. This keeps the tip honest to the server.
What if someone ordered way less?
Use itemized split—each pays their own items plus a fair share of shared dishes and the tip proportional to what they ordered.
