How It Works
This calculator multiplies your bill by the tip percentage to find the tip amount, adds it to the bill for the total, and then divides everything evenly by the number of people splitting it.
Formula
- Bill — Pre-tip bill amount
- Tip % — Tip percentage
- People — Number of people splitting the bill
Example
Example inputs: Bill $64.50, 18% tip, split 3 ways.
Result: Tip amount: $11.61. Total bill: $76.11. Total per person: $25.37.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip before or after tax?
Tipping norms vary, but many guides suggest tipping on the pre-tax subtotal. This calculator treats whatever amount you enter as the base — enter the pre-tax subtotal if that's your preference.
What's a standard tip percentage?
Common ranges in the U.S. are roughly 15–20% at sit-down restaurants, though this varies by service type, region, and personal preference. This calculator doesn't recommend a specific percentage — enter whatever you intend to tip.
Does this split the tip evenly even if people ordered different amounts?
Yes, this calculator splits the total bill and tip evenly by headcount. If people want to pay based on what they individually ordered, they'd need to calculate each person's share separately.
