Tip Calculator
Formula
Tip = Bill × Tip% ÷ 100 | Total = Bill + Tip
Multiply your bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100 to get the tip amount. Add the tip to the bill for the total. Divide by the number of people to split evenly.
How to use
- Enter the Bill Amount before tip.
- Set the Tip Percentage you want to leave.
- Set Split Between to the number of people.
- Read the tip amount, total, and per-person share.
Example
For a $50 Bill Amount at a 20% Tip Percentage, the tip is 50 × 20 ÷ 100 = $10, making the total $60. Split between 1 person, each pays $60.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a standard tip percentage?
In the US, 15-20% is standard for restaurants. 20% is considered good service, 25%+ for exceptional. For counter service, 10-15% is common.
How much should I tip my hairdresser?
15-20% of the service cost is standard for hair stylists and barbers.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Technically, tipping on the pre-tax amount is correct. However, many people tip on the total including tax for simplicity. Either is acceptable.
How do I calculate a 20% tip quickly?
Move the decimal point one place left (that's 10%), then double it. For a $45 bill: 10% = $4.50, doubled = $9.00 tip.
Do I need to tip on takeout or delivery orders?
For delivery, tipping 10 to 20% or a minimum of a few dollars is customary in the US since the driver provides a service and often uses their own car. For takeout you pick up yourself, tipping is optional, though many people leave 10% or a dollar or two if staff packed a large or complicated order. Delivery app service fees usually do not go to the driver, so a separate tip still matters.
How do I split a tip fairly when people ordered different amounts?
The simplest fair method is to apply the same tip percentage to each person's portion of the bill, so someone with a $40 entree tips more than someone with a $15 salad. If you would rather keep it easy, splitting the total bill plus tip evenly is common among friends and avoids awkward math. Decide as a group before the check arrives to keep things smooth.
