Quickly figure out how much to tip and how to split the bill. Enter your bill amount, desired tip percentage, and number of people to see the tip and total per person.
Tipping is one of those everyday calculations where the math is trivial but the social conventions are tangled. In the U.S., standard tipping ranges have crept up over the past decade — 15% used to be standard for sit-down service, now 18–20% is the new normal, and many tipping screens default to 22–25%. This calculator just does the arithmetic; the right percentage depends on where you are and what kind of service you're tipping.
Enter a bill amount, a tip percentage, and how many people are splitting. The calculator returns the tip dollar amount, total bill with tip, and per-person share. It handles the common edge cases: rounding to a whole dollar amount, splitting unevenly, and showing what the per-person share would be at multiple tip levels.
The math is the same whether you're tipping in cash, on a card, or via a payment app. Where things vary is whether the tip is calculated on pre-tax or post-tax amounts — both are acceptable in the U.S., and most diners use the post-tax total because it's simpler.
$48 bill, 20% tip, splitting between 2 people. Tip: $9.60 Total: $57.60 Per person: $28.80 Common practice is to round up to $30 each for cash simplicity, which effectively bumps the tip to 25%.
$340 bill, 18% tip, splitting between 6 people. Tip: $61.20 Total: $401.20 Per person: $66.87 Many restaurants automatically add a "gratuity" of 18–20% for parties of 6 or 8 or more. Check the receipt — if it's already included, don't double-tip.
Use this calculator whenever you want to be precise: large group dinners, business meals where you're expensing the tip, payment-app splitting, or any situation where rounding errors stack up. For solo meals at home with familiar percentages, mental math is faster.
A few situational notes: - Buffet/counter service: 10–15% is conventional if there's any table service; 0–5% for self-service - Delivery: 15–20% on the food total, more in bad weather or for long distances - Taxis/rideshare: 15–20% is standard, more for help with bags or extra stops - Hair, nails, spa services: 15–25% is conventional - Hotels: $2–5 per night for housekeeping, $1–2 per bag for bellhop - Outside the U.S.: tipping norms vary dramatically. In Japan, tipping can be considered rude; in much of Europe, a small round-up is enough; in the U.K. and Australia, 10–15% is generous.
