How to calculate a tip

  1. 1

    Enter the bill

    Type the pre-tax bill amount. Tip is typically calculated on the subtotal before tax in the US.

  2. 2

    Set tip percentage

    Enter a custom rate or tap a preset (15%, 18%, 20%). Standard US sit-down service is 15–20%.

  3. 3

    Split the total

    Enter how many people are paying. Read per-person cost in the results panel. For tax, try the sales tax calculator.

Tip calculation formulas

tip = bill × (tip% ÷ 100)
total = bill + tip
per person = total ÷ split count

Example: $80 bill, 18% tip, 4 people → $14.40 tip, $94.40 total, $23.60 each.
