Tip Calculator
Tip Calculator
Enter your bill amount, desired tip percentage, and number of people to instantly find the tip amount, total bill, and how much each person owes.
15-20% is the commonly cited range for standard service at US restaurants, with some diners tipping toward the higher end for exceptional service or in cities with a higher cost of living — tipping norms vary considerably by country, so this range is specifically a US convention rather than a universal standard. Splitting the total evenly among a group is the simplest approach and what this calculator does by default, though it's worth noting that an even split doesn't account for people who ordered noticeably more or less than the group average, which some groups prefer to adjust for manually afterward.
- Formula: Tip = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100); Total = Bill + Tip; Per Person = Total ÷ Number of People.
- Example: a 100 USD bill with a 20% tip = 20 USD tip, 120 USD total — split 4 ways = 30 USD per person.
- Typical tip ranges: 15-20% is common at US restaurants for standard service; some diners tip more for excellent service or less for counter service.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Conventions vary — many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, though tipping on the total (including tax) is also common and simpler to calculate.
Does this handle uneven splits?
No — this assumes an even split among all people; for itemized/uneven splits, you'd need to calculate each person's share separately.
