Tip Calculator

Enter your bill, pick a tip percentage, and split it between any number of people to see the tip, the grand total, and exactly what each person owes.

Tipping maths is easy to fumble when you're paying at a table and splitting with friends. This calculator does it instantly: pick a percentage, enter the bill, and choose how many people are sharing it. It shows the tip, the total, and a clean per-person figure so everyone pays their fair share without the mental gymnastics.

How the tip is calculated

The tip is a percentage of the bill; the total is the bill plus the tip; and the per-person amount divides the total by the number of people.

Tip = Bill × Tip% ÷ 100
Total = Bill + Tip
Per person = Total ÷ People
Tip %On a $80 bill
15%$12.00 tip · $92.00 total
18%$14.40 tip · $94.40 total
20%$16.00 tip · $96.00 total
25%$20.00 tip · $100.00 total

Worked example

An $80 bill, 18% tip, split four ways:

Tip = 80 × 0.18$14.40
Total = 80 + 14.40$94.40
Per person = 94.40 ÷ 4$23.60

How much should you tip?

Customs vary by country and service. In the United States, 15–20% is standard for restaurant table service, with 20% or more for excellent service; counter service, delivery and other situations differ. In many other countries, tipping is smaller or already included as a service charge. Check whether a gratuity has been added to your bill before adding more, especially for larger groups where it's often automatic.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a tip quickly?
Multiply the bill by the tip percentage. For 20%, move the decimal one place left and double it; for 15%, take 10% and add half again.
Should I tip on the pre-tax total?
Either is acceptable. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is slightly lower; enter that subtotal as the bill if you prefer.
Can I split unevenly?
This tool splits the total evenly. For uneven shares, calculate each person's portion of the bill first, then apply the same tip percentage.
Is a service charge the same as a tip?
A service charge is added by the venue, often for large groups. If one is included, you usually don't need to tip on top.
