Tip Calculator
Calculate tip amount, total bill, and split evenly between any number of people.

Tip = bill × (tip% / 100). Per person = (bill + tip) / split count.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tip Calculator
A tip calculator determines the tip amount based on your bill and desired tip percentage. It also calculates the total bill and splits it evenly among multiple people.
What is a standard tip percentage?
In the US, standard tip percentages are: 15% for adequate service, 18% for good service, 20% for excellent service, and 10% for poor service. Some countries have different norms or include service charges automatically. Adjust based on service quality and local customs.
How is the tip calculated?
Tip is calculated as: bill amount × (tip percentage / 100). For example, 18% tip on a $65 bill = $65 × 0.18 = $11.70. Add this to the bill for the total amount to pay.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax bill?
It's common to tip on the post-tax bill (total you see on the receipt). Some people tip on the pre-tax amount to reduce the tip slightly. Either approach is acceptable; most people tip on the post-tax amount.
How do I split a bill with tip evenly?
Add the tip to the bill, then divide by the number of people. This calculator does it automatically. If splitting is uneven (some people ordered more), you can calculate individual portions separately.
What if I want to give a different tip percentage?
Most tip calculators let you enter a custom percentage instead of choosing from presets. If not, calculate it yourself: (bill × desired percentage / 100) + bill = total to pay.
Do I tip for takeout or delivery?
Tipping customs vary. For takeout, tips are less common but appreciated (5-10%). For delivery, 15-20% is standard depending on distance and service. Credit card tips are increasingly expected for these services.
