A tip calculator figures out how much to tip and what your total comes to. Enter the bill amount and a tip percentage, and it returns the tip amount, the total bill, and the cost per person when you split it with a group — no mental math required.
It’s the quickest way to leave a fair tip at a restaurant, bar, salon or for a delivery, and to divide the check evenly among friends.
To calculate a tip, multiply the bill by the tip percentage as a decimal, then add it to the bill:
Tip = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100) · Total = Bill + Tip
For example, on a $50 bill with a 20% tip: $50 × 0.20 = $10 tip, for a $60 total. To split it between four people, divide the $60 total by 4 — that’s $15 each.
Tipping customs vary by country and service, but in the United States these ranges are common:
| Service | Typical tip |
|---|---|
| Restaurant (sit-down) | 15–20% |
| Exceptional service | 25%+ |
| Food delivery | 10–15% |
| Bartender | $1–2 per drink or 15–20% |
| Taxi / rideshare | 10–15% |
| Hairdresser / barber | 15–20% |
Quick reference for common bills and tip rates (tip only, before splitting):
| Bill | 15% | 18% | 20% |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25 | $3.75 | $4.50 | $5.00 |
| $50 | $7.50 | $9.00 | $10.00 |
| $75 | $11.25 | $13.50 | $15.00 |
| $100 | $15.00 | $18.00 | $20.00 |
Most etiquette experts say it’s fine to tip on the pre-tax bill, since the tax isn’t part of the service. Tipping on the post-tax total is also common and simply means a slightly more generous tip. Either is acceptable.
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Gratuity | Another word for a tip — money given for good service. |
| Service charge | A mandatory fee some venues add automatically, often for large groups. |
| Pre-tax total | The bill before sales tax is added. |
| Split the bill | Dividing the total evenly among everyone at the table. |
Multiply your bill by the tip percentage as a decimal, then add it to the bill. For a $50 bill at 20%, the tip is $50 × 0.20 = $10, making the total $60. To split it, divide the total by the number of people.
In the United States, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurant service, with 25% or more for exceptional service. Tipping customs vary by country, so check local norms when travelling.
Tipping on the pre-tax bill is perfectly acceptable, since tax isn't part of the service. Tipping on the post-tax total is also common and simply results in a slightly larger tip.
Add the tip to the bill to get the total, then divide that total by the number of people. This calculator does it automatically — just enter how many people are splitting the bill.
A common range for food delivery is 10–15% of the order, or a minimum of a few dollars for small orders, with more for bad weather or large or distant deliveries.
If a service charge or automatic gratuity has already been added to your bill — common for large groups — an additional tip is optional. Always check the bill before tipping again.
