About this tool

Tip Calculator

Calculate a restaurant tip and split the complete bill between any number of people. Enter the bill amount, choose or enter a tip percentage, and set the group size to see the tip, final total, and per-person share.

The calculator uses an equal split. If people ordered very different amounts, calculate individual subtotals first so each person pays for their own items and share of the tip.

Common questions

Tip Calculator FAQ

How is the tip calculated?

The bill is multiplied by the tip percentage written as a decimal. For example, a 20% tip on $50 is $50 × 0.20, which equals $10.

Should I tip before or after tax?

Practices vary. Some people calculate the tip from the pre-tax subtotal, while others use the final amount. Choose the value that fits local custom and your preference.

How do I split the total evenly?

Add the tip to the bill and divide the final total by the number of people. The calculator performs those steps automatically.
