About this calculator
Working out a tip and dividing a bill fairly is the kind of small, frequent math that everyone does and nobody enjoys. This calculator does it instantly: the tip amount, the grand total, and the per-person share for any group size.
How it works
The tip is the bill multiplied by your chosen percentage. That is added to the bill for the total, which is then divided by the number of people sharing. Tip percentage is always calculated on the pre-tip bill.
Frequently asked questions
What is a normal tip percentage?
It varies by country and service. In North America 15–20% is common for table service; elsewhere tipping norms differ, so adjust to local custom.
Is the tip on the bill before or after tax?
This calculator applies the tip to the bill amount you enter. If you prefer to tip on the pre-tax amount, enter that figure as the bill.
How does splitting work?
The total (bill plus tip) is divided equally by the number of people you enter.
Can I split between just one person?
Yes — set the split to 1 and you simply get the bill plus tip with no division.
