Tip Calculator
Calculate a tip at any percentage, optionally include tax, and split the bill evenly between people. It takes the awkward mental math out of paying at a restaurant.
Tip Calculator
Enter bill amount, adjust tip percentage, and optionally split the total between people.
Tip, tax, and splitting in one step
The end of a meal involves a few small calculations at once: the tip on the bill, sometimes whether to tip on the pre- or post-tax amount, and dividing the total across the table. Doing it in your head while everyone waits invites mistakes.
The tool handles all three: set the tip percentage, choose whether tax is included, and enter the number of people to get a clean per-person amount.
Tipping conventions
Norms vary, so the percentage is yours to set.
- In the US, 15-20% is typical for table service; other countries differ widely or include service.
- Whether to tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total is a personal choice; pre-tax is common.
- For groups, check if a service charge is already added before tipping again.

FAQs
Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?▼
Either is acceptable; tipping on the pre-tax amount is common and slightly lower. The tool lets you include or exclude tax so you can choose.
What is a standard tip percentage?▼
It varies by country. In the US, 15-20% is normal for table service. In many places service is included or tipping is minimal, so set the percentage to your local norm.
How does the bill split work?▼
It divides the total (bill plus tip, and tax if included) by the number of people for an even per-person amount.
Can it handle an uneven split?▼
It splits evenly. For uneven shares, calculate each person's portion of the bill first, then apply the tip percentage to each.
Is my bill data stored?▼
No. The calculation runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
What if a service charge is already on the bill?▼
Then an additional tip may be optional. Check the bill, and if service is included you can set the tip to zero or a small extra.
How do I round the per-person amount?▼
You can round up to a convenient figure for ease of payment; rounding up slightly is a common, generous habit.
Does it work in any currency?▼
Yes. The math is the same regardless of currency; just read the result in your own.
