Tip Calculator
Calculate a tip and split the bill between any number of people.
Tipping made simple
The tip is a percentage of the bill before tax in most places. Multiply the bill by the tip rate, add it to the total, and divide by the number of people to split it evenly.
Total = Bill × (1 + tip%) · Per person = Total ÷ people
Customs vary widely by country — in much of the US 15–20% is standard for table service, while in many other countries a service charge is already included and tipping is optional. When in doubt, check the receipt for a service charge before adding more.
On a $50 bill at 18%, the tip is $9, making the total $59. Split between four people, that is $14.75 each.
Tipping without the awkward maths
Customs vary widely around the world. In much of the United States 15 to 20% is normal for sit-down service, while in many countries a service charge is already included or tipping is modest. When you travel, a quick look at local norms — and at the bill itself — saves confusion.
Splitting a bill fairly
- An even split works when everyone shared roughly equally.
- An itemised split is fairer when orders differed a lot: total each person's items, then apply the same tip percentage.
- Check for a service charge before adding a tip on top, so you don't pay twice.
