How to use Tip Calculator

Enter the bill amount, your chosen tip percentage, and the number of people. The result shows the tip, total bill, and equal per-person shares. You can enter 0% and split between a whole number of people.

For example, a $50 bill at 20% adds $10; two people pay $30 each. Choose whether to include tax in the bill amount you enter.

Your percentage

Tipping expectations vary by country and service. Choose the percentage yourself; it is not a mandatory fee.

Tax and service charges

Check whether the bill already includes gratuity. The calculator applies the percentage to exactly the bill amount you enter.

Equal split

Tip and total are divided equally. Rounded per-person amounts can differ from the exact total by a few cents.

Calculation method and limitations

Formula or method

Tip = bill x tip percentage / 100. Total = bill + tip. Each equal share = total / number of people.

Worked example

A $75 bill at 18% creates a $13.50 tip and $88.50 total. Split between three people: $29.50 each. A 0% tip is supported.

Assumptions and limitations

Use the subtotal or full bill according to your preference. This tool applies your chosen percentage, not a universal tipping rule.
