Tip Calculator & Bill Splitter

Enter the bill, tap a tip percentage, and see the total instantly โ€” then split it across any number of people. The quick buttons cover the customary 15%, 18% and 20%, and you can type any custom percentage.

Tipping customs vary: 15โ€“20% is standard for table service in the US, 10โ€“12.5% is common in the UK where service is sometimes included, and in many countries service is already on the bill. When in doubt, check whether a 'service charge' line already appears on your receipt.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I tip?

In the US, 15โ€“20% of the pre-tax bill is customary for good table service. 18% is a safe middle ground. For bars, $1โ€“2 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.
