Calculate tip and split the bill
Fill in the fields and click Calculate to see your results
The Tip Calculator takes a bill amount, a tip percentage, and the number of diners, and returns three numbers: the tip amount in dollars, the total bill including tip, and each person's share of the total. Tipping customs vary by country and service type. In the US, 15–20% is standard for restaurant service; 18–22% for good service; less for counter service or takeout. In many European and Asian countries, tipping is optional or not expected. Use whatever percentage matches your local custom or the quality of service you received.
1. Enter the bill amount before tax — or the after-tax total if you prefer to tip on the full amount. 2. Enter the tip percentage. Common values: 10% (minimal), 15% (standard), 18% (good service), 20% (excellent service). 3. Enter the number of people splitting the bill. 4. Click Calculate. You'll see the tip amount, total bill, and each person's share immediately. 5. Round each person's share up to the nearest dollar for easy cash handling.
In the US, tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is the technical etiquette, but tipping on the post-tax total is common practice and only makes a small dollar difference. Either is acceptable — what matters more is the percentage.
In the US, 15% is the floor for adequate service, 18–20% is standard for good service, and 22–25% signals exceptional service. For counter service, delivery, or buffets, 10–15% is typical. For poor service, speak to a manager rather than leaving nothing — servers often don't control kitchen delays.
Yes — the standard tip percentage applies to the full bill including drinks. For a bar tab without food, $1–2 per drink is common in the US, or 15–20% of the total.
This calculator splits the total evenly. For uneven splits — where each person ordered different amounts — calculate the tip on the full bill first using this tool, then divide the actual bill amounts manually and add each person's proportionate share of the tip.
Many restaurants add an automatic gratuity (usually 18–20%) for large parties, typically 6 or more. Check your receipt before adding an additional tip — the line labelled 'gratuity' or 'service charge' is usually pre-calculated.
