Tip Calculator
Calculate the tip amount, total bill, and how much each person owes.
How this calculator works
- Enter the bill amount.
- Choose a quick tip percentage (15/18/20/25%) or type a custom one.
- Enter the number of people splitting the bill.
- The calculator shows the tip amount, total bill, and amount per person.
A straightforward tip calculator: enter your bill, pick or type a tip percentage, and optionally split the total across a group. Use the quick buttons for common tip percentages or type any custom amount.
Example
A $64 bill with a 20% tip: tip = $64 × 0.20 = $12.80. Total = $76.80. Split three ways, that's $25.60 per person.
Limitations
This doesn't account for sales tax being included or excluded from the tip base — if your bill already includes tax, decide whether you want to tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount before entering it. For a version that separates tax and tip explicitly, use the Split Bill Calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip?
Tipping norms vary by country, service type and personal preference — 15–20% is common at US restaurants for standard service. This calculator computes the amount for whatever percentage you choose.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Both approaches are used in practice. Enter whichever bill amount you want to base the tip on — pre-tax or the full total.
How do I split a tip evenly?
Enter the number of people, and the calculator divides the total (bill + tip) evenly across that many people.
Can I enter a custom tip percentage?
Yes — the quick buttons are shortcuts; you can type any percentage into the tip field.
