What is the Tip Calculator?

The Tip Calculator works out the tip amount, the total bill, and the per-person share when splitting a check. Enter the bill amount, pick a tip percentage from the quick-select buttons (10–30%) or type a custom one, and enter the number of people — the results update instantly, along with a table showing the per-person cost for splitting between 1 and 20 people.

How to Use It

Type in your bill total, choose a tip percentage or enter your own, and set the number of people sharing the bill. The results panel shows the tip amount and total bill immediately, plus a breakdown table so a group can quickly see what each person owes at different group sizes.

When to Use It

Use it at a restaurant, bar, salon, or for delivery to quickly figure out a fair tip and split it evenly among a group, or when deciding what to tip in situations without a clear default. It also helps settle the "pre-tax or post-tax" debate — most people simply tip on the full bill total for simplicity.

Who Benefits

Diners splitting a check with friends or coworkers, servers and hosts explaining a bill, and anyone traveling or in an unfamiliar tipping situation who wants to calculate a fair amount quickly all benefit from a fast, accurate split without doing percentage math at the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

The standard tip at a sit-down restaurant in the US is 15–20% of the pre-tax bill. 15% is considered the minimum for acceptable service, 18% is average, 20% is good, and 25%+ is for exceptional service. Tipping below 10% is generally reserved for genuinely poor service.
Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax amount. However, tipping on the full post-tax total is widely accepted and simpler in practice. The difference is usually small — on a $100 meal with 8% tax, it's the gap between tipping on $100 versus $108.
15–20% of the order total is standard for delivery, with a minimum of $3–5 for small orders. Tip more for bad weather, large orders, long distances, or excellent service. For simple takeout with no delivery involved, 10% or a few dollars is a common baseline.
