Tip Calculator

Calculate a tip and split the bill between any number of people.

A quick note on tipping norms

Tipping customs vary widely by country and by service type. In the US, 15–20% is typical for sit-down restaurant service; other services (delivery, salons, bars) often follow different conventions. Check local norms if you're somewhere unfamiliar.

Tipping on the pre-tax or post-tax total?

There's no universal rule — some people tip on the subtotal before tax, others on the total after tax. Either way, enter whichever bill amount you're basing the percentage on.

When splitting a bill unevenly (like one person ordering more), it's often fairer to split by item cost rather than dividing the total equally — this calculator assumes an equal split.

Common questions

Should everyone get an equal tip if orders differ a lot?

That's a personal/group decision — equal splitting is simplest, but some groups prefer splitting proportionally to what each person ordered.

Is there a standard tip percentage?

No fixed standard exists, but 15–20% is common in the US for good restaurant service, with 20%+ for exceptional service.
