Use the Tip Calculator in three steps
Enter the bill
Use the amount you want the tip based on.
Choose a tip
Type a percentage or use a common preset.
Set the group size
See the total and an equal share for each person.
Decide which bill amount to use
Some people tip on the pre-tax subtotal and others use the final bill. Enter whichever amount matches your preference and local custom.
An equal split is only a starting point
This tool divides the total evenly. If people ordered very different amounts, calculate separate shares or adjust the result together.
Tip Calculator FAQ
Does the result include the tip?＋
Yes. The total and per-person figures include the calculated tip.
Can I enter a custom percentage?＋
Yes. Type any non-negative percentage instead of using a preset.
How does the split work?＋
The bill and tip are added, then the total is divided by the number of people.
What happens if I enter zero people?＋
The calculator uses a minimum group size of one to avoid division by zero.
Should I tip before or after tax?＋
Practices vary. Enter the subtotal or final bill according to your preference.
Does it round each person's payment?＋
The displayed share is rounded to two decimal places, so a very small rounding difference can remain when the group pays separately.
