How it works

Enter your bill total, choose a tip percentage, and pick how many people are splitting the check. The calculator instantly shows the tip amount, the total bill, and what each person owes.

A standard tip in the US is 15–20% for sit-down service, though it's always your choice.

Formula

Tip amount = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100)
Total = Bill + Tip amount
Per person = Total ÷ Number of people

Example

For a $50 bill with an 18% tip split between 3 people: tip = $50 × 0.18 = $9. Total = $59. Each person pays $19.67.

Frequently asked questions

What is a standard tip percentage in the US?

15–20% of the bill before tax is typical for sit-down restaurant service in the US, with 20% common for excellent service.

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

Most etiquette guides recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, but tipping on the total is also common and never considered rude.

How is the per-person amount calculated?

The total bill, including tip, is divided evenly by the number of people. For itemized splitting, each person would instead pay for their own items plus a share of tax and tip.
