What is the Tip Calculator?
The Tip Calculator is a quick tool for splitting a restaurant or service bill fairly among a group. Enter the bill amount, the tip percentage you want to leave, and the number of people sharing the bill, and the tool instantly calculates the total tip amount, the grand total including tip, and how much each person owes — both their share of the total and their share of just the tip. This removes the mental math and rounding guesswork that often comes up at the end of a meal, and makes it easy to quickly test a few different tip percentages (15%, 18%, 20%) to see how the total changes before deciding what to leave.
How to use it
Enter the pre-tip bill amount shown on your receipt. Enter the tip percentage you'd like to leave — 15% is prefilled as a common default, but you can change it to whatever you prefer. Enter the number of people splitting the bill; leave it at 1 if you're not splitting. Click 'Calculate' to see the tip amount, the total bill including tip, and the per-person amount each person should pay (including their share of the tip).
Frequently asked questions
What's a typical tip percentage?
In many places 15-20% is standard for good service at a restaurant, though local customs and service quality can shift this.
Does this calculator split the tip evenly regardless of what each person ordered?
Yes, it divides the total and tip evenly across the number of people entered; for itemized splitting, you'd need to calculate each person's order separately.
Should I tip before or after tax?
This tool tips on the bill amount you enter, so enter the pre-tax subtotal if that's your preference, or the tax-inclusive total if you'd rather tip on that.
Can I use this for group bills with more than 10 people?
Yes, enter any number of people and the tool will divide the total and tip accordingly.
