Tip Calculator

Split the tip and total evenly · Page last updated August 2026

How the Tip Calculator Works

Enter your bill amount and a tip percentage - either pick a preset or type your own - and the calculator multiplies the bill by that percentage to get your tip. It then adds the tip to the bill for your total, and divides both across however many people you're splitting with.

Everything is calculated the moment you click Calculate, and nothing you enter is sent anywhere - it all happens in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a typical tip percentage?

In the US, 15-20% is typical for restaurant table service, with 18-20% common for good service. Norms vary a lot by country and service type, so use whatever fits your situation.

Should I tip on the total including tax?

Most people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but tipping on the full total (including tax) is also common and simpler. This calculator applies the tip percentage to whatever bill amount you enter.

How is the per-person amount split?

The total bill plus tip is divided evenly by the number of people. It does not account for people ordering different amounts - for that, split individual items first, then use this calculator per share.
