Tip Calculator
Calculate how much tip to leave at a restaurant, the total bill, and how much each person should pay if you're splitting it.
How to use the tip calculator
- Enter the bill amount before tip.
- Enter what percentage you want to tip.
- Enter the number of people if you're splitting the bill, or leave it at 1 if you're paying alone.
How the tip is calculated
The calculator works out the tip as a percentage of the bill, adds it to the total, and splits it by the number of people if needed:
Tip = Bill × (Tip percentage ÷ 100)
Total = Bill + Tip
Per person = Total ÷ Number of people
Total = Bill + Tip
Per person = Total ÷ Number of people
Note: Tipping customs vary widely by country and even by restaurant — some places already add a service charge to the bill, so check before adding a tip on top.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip?
Tipping customs vary a lot by country. In the US, 15–20% at a restaurant is common, while in many other countries a smaller amount, rounding up, or no tip at all is standard since service may already be included. Check local customs, or simply enter whatever percentage fits your situation.
Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?
Most people calculate the tip on the total bill (including tax), which is also what this calculator does.
