One number each — tax and tip included, with a rounded figure so the table always covers the bill.
Leave 0 if tax is already in the subtotal.

The order of operations matters
Tax is applied to the subtotal, tip is applied to the taxed amount, and only then is the grand total divided between the group. Tipping before tax gives a slightly lower total — set the tax rate to 0 if you prefer to tip on the pre-tax figure.
Rounding up
The rounded share is each person's exact share rounded up to the next whole unit. Any surplus goes to the tip rather than leaving the bill short.
Common questions
How do you split a bill with tax and tip?
Add the tax to the subtotal, apply the tip percentage, then divide the grand total by the number of people.
Why is the rounded amount higher than the exact share?
Rounding each share up to a convenient amount guarantees the total is covered instead of leaving a shortfall of a few cents.
Can I split unevenly?
Use the per-person figure as a baseline, then use the percentage calculator for anyone covering a different share.
