How to split a bill and tip
Enter the bill, drag the slider or tap a preset to set the tip, and set how many people are splitting. The per-person amount updates as you go.
How much should you tip?
- 15% is a standard tip for average restaurant service in the US.
- 18–20% for good service, or for table service and delivery.
- 10% or less for counter service or takeout where little service is provided.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a tip quickly?
Take the bill, multiply by the tip percentage and divide by 100. A simple trick for 20%: move the decimal one place to get 10%, then double it.
Should the tip be calculated before or after tax?
Traditionally tips are based on the pre-tax amount, but many people round up or tip on the total. Either is acceptable — this tool uses whatever bill amount you enter.
How does splitting the bill work?
The total (bill plus tip) is divided equally by the number of people you enter, so everyone pays the same share.
Is the tip calculator free?
