Tip Calculator
Work out the tip and split the bill, with optional rounding.
How to use Tip Calculator
- Enter the bill and the tip percentage.
- Set how many people are sharing.
- Optionally round up the total or each share, and compare common tip levels in the table.
How it works
Tip = bill × percentage ÷ 100; total = bill + tip; each person pays total ÷ people. With rounding, the total (or each share) is rounded up to the next whole unit and the extra is added to the tip; the effective tip percentage is shown so you can see what you are really leaving.
Tipping customs differ. In US restaurants with table service, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is customary; in many European countries service is included and people round up or leave 5–10%; in Japan tipping is not expected. When in doubt, ask locally.
Example
An 80.00 bill with a 20% tip shared by 4: tip 16.00, total 96.00, 24.00 each.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a 20% tip quickly?
Move the decimal point one place left to get 10%, then double it. For 64.00: 6.40 × 2 = 12.80.
Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?
Custom in the US is to tip on the pre-tax amount, though many people tip on the total for simplicity. Enter whichever you prefer as the bill.
How do I split a bill unevenly?
This tool splits equally. For uneven shares, calculate each person’s items separately as their own bill.
Limitations
- Equal split only.
- Tipping norms vary by country and service; the percentages shown are common US levels, not rules.
