Overview

What Is a Tip Calculator?

A tip calculator works out the gratuity you want to leave based on your bill amount and a chosen tip percentage. It also calculates the final total and splits it evenly across a group.

Whether you’re at a restaurant, ordering delivery, taking a taxi, or paying for a salon visit, it removes the guesswork so you leave a fair, accurate tip every time.

Usage

How the Calculator Works

Enter your bill, choose or type a tip percentage, and set the number of people sharing it. The tip, total, and per-person amount update instantly above — no refresh needed.

Prefer to tip on the pre-tax subtotal? Just enter that subtotal instead of the taxed total — it’s the more common etiquette.

Use Cases

Who It's For

Avoid These

Common Mistakes When Tipping

Tipping on the taxed total

Standard etiquette calculates the tip on the pre-tax subtotal, not the amount after tax.

Forgetting automatic gratuity

Many restaurants already add a service charge for larger groups — check the receipt first.

Using a fixed amount

A percentage-based tip scales fairly with the size of the bill.

Splitting before adding the tip

Add the tip to the total first, then divide across the group.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 15% a good tip?
Yes. A 15% tip is standard for average service in the US. Many people leave 18–20% for good service.
Etiquette generally recommends tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, since tax isn’t part of the service.
Add the tip to the bill to get the total, then divide that total by the number of people.
Yes — enter any value, whether it’s a round number like 20% or a custom one like 17.5%.
Usually not. If gratuity is already added, an extra tip is optional — reserved for exceptional service.
