Tip Calculator & Bill Splitter

Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip?
In the US, 15โ20% of the pre-tax bill is customary for good table service. 18% is a safe middle ground. For bars, $1โ2 per drink is common.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Traditional etiquette says tip on the pre-tax total, though many people simply tip on the final number for simplicity. Either is acceptable.
How do I split a bill including tip?
Add the tip to the total, then divide by the number of people. This calculator does it automatically โ just set the people count.
Is 20% tipping too much?
20% is on the generous end in the US and considered excellent service; 15% is the baseline for acceptable service. Outside the US, check local norms โ many cultures tip far less or not at all.
