Tip = Bill × (Tip% / 100)
Total = Bill + Tip
Per Person = Total / Number of People

Example

Example: $86 bill, 18% tip, 4 people: Tip = $15.48, Total = $101.48, Per person = $25.37 (or $26 rounded up).

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 15-20% is standard in the US. 18% is a common default. For excellent service, 20-25%. For takeout, 10-15% is typical.
  • Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. This calculator uses the total bill amount you enter.
  • Rounding up makes each person's share a clean number. "Nearest $1" rounds $21.37 to $22. "Nearest $5" rounds to $25. The extra goes toward a larger tip.
  • This calculator splits evenly. For uneven splits, calculate each person's subtotal separately and add their proportional tip share.
