Understanding your results
Tip amount = bill × tip% ÷ 100. Total bill = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ number of people. If you only need the percentage amount without a bill split, use the Percentage Calculator. Common restaurant tips range from about 15% to 20%, but customs vary by place and service type.
Frequently asked questions
Should I tip on tax?
Local customs differ. Many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal; others tip on the full receipt. Enter whichever base you prefer.
How do I split a tip evenly?
Set “Split between” to the number of people. The calculator divides the tipped total evenly across that count.
Can I use a custom tip percentage?
Yes. Enter any percentage, including decimals, and the tip, total, and split update immediately.
