How it works

- Choose the tip percentage with one of the quick buttons, or type a custom percentage.
- Enter how many people are splitting the bill (leave it at 1 if you're not splitting it).
- The total tip, the total to pay, and the per-person amount are calculated and updated automatically.
Use cases
- Quickly calculate how much to tip at a restaurant without doing mental math.
- Split a dinner bill evenly among a group of friends.
- Compare how the total changes at different tip percentages.
- Calculate tips for services like delivery, taxis, or tour guides.
Common mistakes
- Calculating the tip on the total after the tip is already included, instead of on the original bill amount.The tool always calculates the percentage on the bill amount you enter (before the tip), which is the standard way to calculate it.
- Forgetting to update the number of people after calculating for a different-sized group.Check the number-of-people field before reading the 'per person' amount; if you leave it at 1, that value will match the full total.
- Mentally rounding the per-person amount and expecting the sum to match the total exactly.The exact split can include cents; when paying in cash, agree with the group on how to round those cents instead of assuming everyone pays a perfectly round amount.
Frequently asked questions
Tip = bill amount × (percentage / 100). For example, a $50 bill with a 15% tip gives a $7.50 tip.
The total (bill plus tip) is divided by the number of people entered, and the tip is also shown split separately, so you can see both figures.
It varies a lot by country and type of service; the quick buttons (10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%) cover the most common ranges, but you can always type whatever percentage fits your situation or local custom.
