Tip Calculator
Enter the bill amount and tip percentage to see the tip, the total, and the amount each person owes.
How the split is calculated
The tip is the bill amount multiplied by your chosen percentage, added to the bill for the total, then divided evenly across however many people are splitting it. This assumes an even split — for itemized splitting where people pay for what they ordered, add the tip to each person's individual item total instead.
What's a typical tip percentage?
- 15% is often considered a standard baseline in many places
- 18–20% is common for good service in the US
- Tipping norms vary significantly by country — some places include service charges already, making additional tipping optional or unusual
Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip?
Norms vary a lot by country and situation — 15–20% is common for restaurant service in the US, while many other countries have lower or no tipping expectations, sometimes because a service charge is already included in the bill.
How do I split a bill evenly with tip included?
Enter the bill amount and tip percentage, then set "Split between" to the number of people — the result shows exactly what each person owes, including their even share of the tip.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
There's no universal rule — some people tip on the subtotal before tax, others on the total including tax. Enter whichever bill amount matches your preferred convention.
How do I calculate tip for an unevenly split bill?
This calculator assumes an even split. For itemized splitting where each person pays for their own items, calculate each person's tip separately as their item total times the tip percentage.
