Tip & Split Calculator

Guide: Tip & Split Calculator

The formulas

• Tip = base × tip% ÷ 100, where the base is the pre-tax subtotal or subtotal plus tax, as you choose
• Total = subtotal + tax + tip
• Per person = total ÷ number of people

Example

A 86.50 subtotal with an 18% tip, split between 3 people: tip = 86.50 × 0.18 = 15.57, total = 102.07, and each person pays 34.02. With "Round each share up", each pays 35.00, the total becomes 105.00 and the tip rises to 18.50, about 21.4%.

Using it at the table

Type the bill, tap a preset (10, 15, 18, 20 or 25%) or type your own, and enter how many people share. The big number is what each person owes. "Tip per person" helps when guests want to pay their tip in cash. If tax is printed on the receipt, enter it so the total matches the card slip.

Tipping etiquette

Tipping rules vary widely by country and service. Some places add a service charge automatically; check the bill before adding a tip. For delivery, taxis and hotels the usual amounts differ from restaurants. The calculator does arithmetic only and does not know local custom. Use Copy result to paste the split into a group chat.

FAQ

How is the tip calculated?

Tip = bill × tip% ÷ 100. Total = bill + tax + tip. Each person pays total ÷ number of people.

Should I tip on the pre-tax amount?

Many people tip on the subtotal before tax; others tip on the full amount. Pick either option in the calculator.

What does "Round each share up" do?

It raises each person’s share to the next whole currency unit, and the extra goes to the tip. The effective tip percentage is shown.

How much should I tip?

Customs differ: 15–20% is common in the United States for table service, while many countries expect little or nothing because service is included. Check local norms.

Can I use another currency?

Yes, choose it from the currency list. Amounts are formatted by your browser.
