Tip Calculator
Calculate a tip, total bill and each person's share.
About the Tip Calculator
A tip calculator makes restaurant bill math simple by calculating the tip, total bill, and amount each person pays when splitting the bill.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the bill amount before the tip.
- Choose the tip percentage you want to leave.
- Enter the number of people sharing the bill.
- Review the tip, total, and per-person amount.
How the calculation works
The tip amount is the bill multiplied by the selected tip percentage. The total is the bill plus the tip, and the per-person amount is the total divided by the number of people.
Example
For a $75 bill and a 20% tip, the tip is $15 and the total is $90. Split between two people, that is $45 per person.
Things to keep in mind
- Decide whether you want to tip on the pre-tax or after-tax amount based on your preference and local practice.
- Check the bill for an already-added service charge or gratuity.
- Rounding the final per-person amount can make splitting easier.
- Tip expectations vary by location and service, so use the percentage you are comfortable with.
