How this calculation works
Split a bill equally after adding an entered service charge and a voluntary tip. Both percentages use the original bill amount in this model. Checking an existing service-charge line first helps you decide which additional tip, if any, you want to add; the calculator does not decide local tipping customs or whether a charge is payable.
Worked example
This example uses illustrative inputs. Your current result is shown above.
For a ₹2,000 bill, 5% service charge, 10% tip and four people, the additions are ₹100 and ₹200. Total payment is ₹2,300 and each person pays ₹575. The tip is calculated on ₹2,000, not ₹2,100.
Assumptions and limits
- People share the total equally; individual dishes, unequal shares and separate payments are not allocated.
- Both percentages apply to the entered bill. Avoid adding a service charge already included in that amount, and decide separately whether the input includes tax.
Questions people ask
Is the tip added on top of the service charge?
Both are added to the bill, but the tip percentage is calculated on the original bill rather than on the service-charge-inclusive amount.
Can the rounded shares leave a small difference?
Yes. Currency rounding can make independently paid shares differ from the exact total by a few smallest currency units; reconcile that difference when settling.
