Use this tip calculator to estimate total bill amount and per-person share instantly.

Bill inputs

Enter bill amount, tip percentage, and number of people.

How it works

The tip is calculated as: Tip = Bill Amount × (Tip % ÷ 100). The total bill is the original amount plus the tip. Each person's share is the total divided by the number of people.

Common tip rates are 15% for adequate service, 18% for good service, and 20% or more for excellent service. Adjust to local customs and your own experience.

Practical example

A dinner bill of 84.50 with an 18% tip: Tip = 84.50 × 0.18 = 15.21. Total = 84.50 + 15.21 = 99.71.

Split among 3 people, each person pays 33.24. This avoids the awkward mental math at the table and ensures everyone pays their fair share.

Frequently asked questions

Does it split evenly?

Yes. The per-person value is split evenly across the party size.

Can I use custom tip rates?

Yes. Enter any percentage from 0 to 100.

Can I leave a tip of 0%?

Yes. Set tip rate to 0% to split only the base bill amount.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

This varies by preference. Most people tip on the pre-tax subtotal. Enter whichever amount you prefer as the bill amount.

What is a standard tip in the US?

15-20% is standard in the US. In many other countries, tips are lower or included in the price. Adjust to local customs.
