Tip Calculator
Enter the bill, pick a tip percentage, and split it across the table. See the tip, the total, and what each person owes.
How to use this calculator
Enter the bill amount, choose a tip percentage (or tap 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%), and set how many people are splitting it. The calculator shows the tip, the total, and the amount per person.
How tipping works
A tip is a percentage of the bill that rewards service. Multiply the bill by the percentage to get the tip in dollars, add it to the bill for the total, and divide by the number of people to split it evenly.
Worked example
A dinner bill is $60 and you tip 20%: the tip is $12 and the total is $72. Split between 2 people, that's $36 each.
Typical US tipping guide
Restaurants: 15–20% · Bars: $1–2 per drink or 15–20% · Coffee shops: optional, rounding up is common · Food delivery: 10–20% (minimum a few dollars) · Taxis/rideshare: 10–15% · Hairdressers: 15–20%.
The formula
Tip = Bill × (Percent ÷ 100) · Total = Bill + Tip · Per person = Total ÷ People
