Split the tip evenly.
It's proper etiquette to split tax and tip evenly among the table. While some people do mind splitting the entire bill, most don't have a problem with splitting the tip evenly, since it is only a small percentage of the total bill and makes settling the bill go quicker.
Here are several ideas for splitting the bill with your friends:
Say Person A makes 60% of the total household income. Under this system, Person A will then pay 60% of the household bills. How do you calculate the percentage of household income? Add up the incomes of both individuals and then divide the largest income by that number.
Restaurants generally don't allow split bills because they take up lots of staff time as every person has to pay themselves, and then each bill has to be checked to make sure everything has been covered.

When a large, mixed group of friends is out for dinner — that is, couples, singles, etc. — the best way to handle the bill is to let each party pay for themselves. Singles will pay individually; couples will pay for their two meals. Traditionally, etiquette says to split the bill equally amongst all parties.
My rule is that the guy should always offer at least the first two times, maybe three. On the first date, a guy should pay no matter what the lass says – if he wants to see her again, that is. If there's a second date and she offers to split, you're good.

Splitting bills 50/50 with your spouse or partner is very common. Generally, just agreeing to split 50/50 will alleviate the headache of finding another method. 50/50 works great when both partners have similar incomes and split resources equally. Your husband might eat more food while your wife might use more water.
Here's how it goes:
Here's an idea. Add all your incomes together and then calculate what percentage each of you brings to the income table. Then multiply the total rent owed by each person's percentage to get the rent each person should pay. Here's an example for two roommates.
