Tip calculator

Calculate tip and split the bill.

Questions

What does this tool do?

The Tip calculator takes a bill, applies the tip percentage you choose and shows the tip, the new total and — if you are splitting — what each person owes. Tap a preset of 15, 18, 20 or 25%, or type your own rate, and every figure updates as you go. The tip is calculated on the bill itself, not on the bill plus tax, which is the most common convention. Tipping norms vary, so the tool stays neutral and lets you set the percentage.

How is the tip calculated?

Tip = bill × tip% ÷ 100. Total = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ people. The tip is calculated on the bill, not on the bill plus tax — the most common convention in the US.

What tip is normal?

Conventions vary. In the US, 18–20% is typical for table service. In much of Europe service is often included, and a small round-up is plenty. The tool stays neutral: you set the percentage.
