Working out a tip and splitting the bill shouldn't take a phone note and mental gymnastics at the table. A tip calculator does it instantly: enter the bill, choose a tip percentage, and (if you're sharing) the number of people, and it gives the tip, the total, and each person's share.
Enter the bill amount, the tip percentage and how many people are splitting, and the tip, total and per-person amount appear at once.

Good to know: In the US 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is customary for table service.
Tip Calculator — how it works
The calculation
Tip = bill × tip% ÷ 100. Total = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ number of people. A 80 bill at 18% is a 14.40 tip, a 94.40 total, and — split four ways — 23.60 each.
How much to tip
Tipping norms vary widely by country and service: - United States: 15–20% is standard at restaurants (20% for good service); tipping is a large part of servers' income. - UK/Europe: often 10–15%, and sometimes a service charge is already included — check the bill before adding more. - Many countries: tipping is optional or uncommon; rounding up is enough.
When a service charge is already on the bill, you generally don't add a separate tip.
Tip on pre-tax or post-tax?
Custom varies. Many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal; others tip on the total including tax. Tipping on the subtotal is perfectly acceptable — the difference is small, and the choice is yours.
Splitting fairly
This tool splits the total evenly. For an uneven split (people ordered different amounts), divide by each person's share of the bill instead, then apply the same tip percentage to each.
Where it helps
- Quickly settling a restaurant or café bill
- Splitting a shared meal evenly among friends
- Deciding a fair tip in a country with unfamiliar norms
Worked example
Your table's bill comes to 80 and you want to leave an 18% tip, splitting it between 4 people. The tip is 80 × 18 ÷ 100 = 14.40, making the total 94.40. Divided four ways, that's 23.60 per person (of which 3.60 each is the tip). If service felt exceptional and you bumped it to 20%, the tip becomes 16.00, the total 96.00, and each share 24.00 — a 40-cent difference per person for the higher rate. Seeing the per-person figure instantly is what saves the awkward maths when the bill lands.
Tip and total by bill amount
| Bill | %10 | %15 | %20 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20.00 | 2.00 → 22.00 | 3.00 → 23.00 | 4.00 → 24.00 |
| 30.00 | 3.00 → 33.00 | 4.50 → 34.50 | 6.00 → 36.00 |
| 50.00 | 5.00 → 55.00 | 7.50 → 57.50 | 10.00 → 60.00 |
| 75.00 | 7.50 → 82.50 | 11.25 → 86.25 | 15.00 → 90.00 |
| 100.00 | 10.00 → 110.00 | 15.00 → 115.00 | 20.00 → 120.00 |
| 150.00 | 15.00 → 165.00 | 22.50 → 172.50 | 30.00 → 180.00 |
| 200.00 | 20.00 → 220.00 | 30.00 → 230.00 | 40.00 → 240.00 |
| 500.00 | 50.00 → 550.00 | 75.00 → 575.00 | 100.00 → 600.00 |
Each cell: tip → total including tip.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a tip?+
Multiply the bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100: an 80 bill at 18% is a 14.40 tip, for a 94.40 total. The tool also splits it per person.
How much should I tip?+
It varies by country: 15–20% is standard in US restaurants, 10–15% in much of Europe (where a service charge may already be included), and tipping is optional in many other places.
How do I split a bill with a tip?+
Add the tip to the bill for the total, then divide by the number of people. An 80 bill at 18% split four ways is 23.60 each. Enter the people count and the tool does it.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?+
Custom varies, and both are acceptable. Many tip on the pre-tax subtotal; others on the total including tax. The difference is small — enter whichever amount you prefer as the bill.
What if a service charge is already included?+
If the bill already shows a service charge, you generally don't add a separate tip. Check the bill first, especially in the UK and Europe where it's often built in.
How do I split a bill unevenly?+
This tool splits evenly. For an uneven share, work out each person's portion of the bill, apply the same tip percentage to each, and total their share plus tip individually.
