Enter your bill amount and pick a tip percentage — or type a custom one if the presets don't fit. If you're splitting the check, enter the number of people and the per-person amount updates automatically alongside the tip and grand total. Every calculation happens instantly in your browser as you adjust the numbers.

Formula & methodology

tip = bill × tip% ; total = bill + tip ; per person = total ÷ people

Worked example

  • Bill 50, tip 20%, 2 people → Tip 10, total 60, 30 each

Assumptions

  • The tip percentage applies to the bill amount you type in, so if you want to tip on the pre-tax subtotal rather than a total that already includes tax, enter that subtotal.
  • The per-person amount divides the total bill plus tip evenly across everyone, regardless of who ordered what.
  • There's no built-in "standard" tip rate — customary percentages differ a lot by country and situation, so pick whatever fits where you are.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I tip?

In many countries 15–20% is customary at restaurants, but tipping norms vary widely by country and service. Use the percentage that fits your local custom.

Does it split the tip too?

Yes. The per-person amount divides the full total, including the tip, evenly among everyone.

Should I tip before or after tax?

That depends on local custom — some people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, others on the total including tax. Enter whichever amount you want the tip percentage calculated on.

What's a typical tip percentage?

It varies enormously by country: 15–20% is common at US restaurants, while a smaller rounding-up amount or no tip at all is standard elsewhere. Go with whatever is customary where you are.

What if the per-person split doesn't divide evenly?

The calculator shows the exact mathematical share; in cash situations, one person may need to round up by a small amount so the total adds up.
