A tip calculator takes the mental math out of dining out. Enter the bill amount, tap a tip percentage (or set a custom one), and split the total between any number of people. You will see the tip amount, the grand total, and each person share instantly - no awkward phone-calculator moments at the table.
Bill details
Breakdown
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the US, 15-20% is standard for table service: 15% for adequate service, 18-20% for good service, and 20-25% for exceptional service. 10% or less usually signals a problem worth mentioning to staff.
Tipping norms differ by country: some places add service charges automatically, and others do not expect tips at all.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?
Etiquette guides generally say to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, since tax is not service. In practice most people tip on the printed total and the difference is small.
On an $85 bill with 8% tax, 20% of the pre-tax amount vs the total differs by about $1.36: do whichever you prefer.
How do you split a bill evenly?
Add the tip to the bill, then divide by the number of people. An $85 bill with 15% tip is $97.75; split two ways each person pays $48.88.
For uneven orders, have each person cover their items plus a proportional share of tip and tax instead of splitting evenly.
Frequently asked questions
What tip percentages do the buttons cover?
10%, 15%, 18%, 20% and 25%. Type any other percent into the custom field, including decimals like 22.5%.
Can I split the bill unevenly?
This tool splits evenly. For uneven shares, calculate each person items separately and use the per-person tip as a guide.
Does it handle tax?
Enter the bill as shown: most people enter the post-tax total. Tip is computed on whatever amount you enter.
How is per-person tip calculated?
Total tip divided by the number of people. With a $12.75 tip split 3 ways, each person share is $4.25 of tip.
