Calculate tip amount, total bill and split between multiple people
A tip calculator works out the gratuity on a bill, the new total with the tip added, and — when you are with others — how much each person owes when the bill is split. You enter the bill amount and the tip percentage, and it does the arithmetic instantly, so you are not doing percentages in your head at the end of a meal or fumbling to divide an awkward total between friends. It is the small, frequent calculation that is genuinely easier on a screen than in your head.
The handy details it removes friction from are the ones that cause hesitation at the table: working a 15, 18 or 20% tip on an odd bill amount, and splitting the total cleanly so everyone pays a fair, equal share. Some situations also raise the question of whether to tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount, which changes the figure slightly. This tool handles the maths in your browser and updates as you adjust the percentage or the number of people, so you can settle up in seconds.
Conventions vary. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is common and slightly lower, while tipping on the post-tax total is simpler and a little more generous. Either is acceptable; the calculator works from whichever amount you enter, so choose the base you prefer.
The total including the tip is divided by the number of people, giving each an equal share. If you want everyone to contribute the same tip percentage, splitting the tipped total achieves that — each person effectively pays their portion of both the bill and the gratuity.
It depends heavily on the country and the service. In places where tipping is customary, common ranges are around 15–20% for table service, with more for exceptional service. In many countries tipping is minimal or already included, so local custom matters more than any fixed number.
A basic split assumes equal shares. For uneven splits — where people ordered different amounts — calculate each person's portion of the bill first, then apply the same tip percentage to each, rather than dividing one combined total equally.
