About the Tip Calculator

This free tip calculator works out how much to leave on any restaurant, bar or delivery bill. Enter the total, pick a tip percentage and split between any number of people. The maths happens instantly so you can settle up without arguing or squinting at your phone calculator.

It covers 15%, 18%, 20% and any custom rate, and works equally well for a quick coffee or a long table-of-twelve dinner.

How it works

  1. Type the bill total exactly as it appears on the receipt.
  2. Choose a tip percentage or enter a custom value.
  3. Set the number of people splitting the bill to see the per-person amount.

What you'll learn

  • How tip percentages translate into real money.
  • How to split a tipped bill evenly across a group.
  • When to round up to keep the maths simple.

FAQs

What is a normal tip percentage?
In the US, 18 to 20 percent is standard for table service. Elsewhere, tipping norms vary widely. Check local custom before defaulting to an American rate.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?
Pre-tax is technically correct, but most people tip on the total shown at the bottom of the receipt. Either is acceptable.
Does the calculator round the per-person amount?
It shows the exact split so you can round up manually if you prefer cleaner numbers.
