Tip Calculator & Bill Splitter
Enter the bill, tap a tip percentage, and see the total instantly — 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: 15–20% is standard for table service in the US, 10–12.5% 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.
How to use
- Type the bill amount — ignore the tip line if a service charge is already included.
- Tap 15%, 18% or 20%, or type a custom tip percentage.
- Set the number of people to split; read the per-person amount below.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip?
In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is customary for good table service. 18% is a safe middle ground. For bars, $1–2 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 — 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 — many cultures tip far less or not at all.
