Tip Calculator
Work out the tip, total, and amount per person for any bill — with quick percentage presets.
Calculate the tip and split the bill
The Tip Calculator works out the gratuity, the grand total, and the amount each person owes when you split the bill. Enter the bill, choose a tip percentage with the slider or quick presets, and set how many people are sharing — the results update instantly. No more awkward mental math at the table.
How much should you tip?
Tipping norms vary by country and service, but in the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for restaurant service: around 15% for adequate service, 18% for good, and 20%+ for excellent. Many other countries tip less or include service charges. When in doubt, the presets here cover the common range.
How to use it

Common tip amounts
| Service | Typical tip |

Splitting fairly
When dividing a bill, this tool splits the total (bill plus tip) evenly across the group, giving everyone a clear, equal amount. For uneven splits — where people ordered very differently — calculate each person's share of the bill first, then apply the same tip percentage to keep it fair. Even splitting is fastest and works well for most casual meals.
Tips for tipping
- Tip on the pre-tax amount unless you prefer to be generous.
- Check whether a service charge is already included before adding more.
- Round up to a convenient total to make payment easy.
- Carry the per-person figure when splitting in cash.
