Tip Calculator
Calculate the tip, the grand total, and the amount each person owes when splitting a bill.
How much to tip
In the United States, 15–20% is customary for sit-down service, with 18% a common default and 20%+ for excellent service. Tipping norms vary widely around the world — in many countries service is included and tipping is minimal.
Splitting fairly
This calculator divides the total evenly. For uneven splits, calculate each person’s share of the pre-tip bill first, then apply the same tip percentage to each.
Frequently asked questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Etiquette says tip on the pre-tax subtotal, though many people tip on the total for simplicity. Enter whichever amount you prefer.
