Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about tip math, tax, splitting the bill and currencies.
How do I calculate a 20% tip?
Multiply the bill by 0.20. On a $60 bill, a 20% tip is $12, so the total comes to $72. In this calculator, type 60, tap the 20% button and click Calculate to see the tip, the total and each person's share.
What is the formula for calculating a tip?
Tip equals the bill times the tip percentage divided by 100. Add the tip to the bill for the total, then divide the total by the number of people for each share. For example, $50 at 15% gives a $7.50 tip and a $57.50 total.
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the US, 15 to 20 percent of the pre-tax bill is the usual range for table service, and many diners now treat 18 to 20 percent as normal. Customs differ abroad, so type the local rate as a custom percentage.
Do you tip before or after tax?
Etiquette guides say to tip on the subtotal before tax, though many people tip on the final total. This calculator has no tax box, so type whichever amount you want to tip on. On a $100 meal with $8 tax, 20% is $20 before tax or $21.60 after.
How do I split the bill evenly?
Type the number of people in the Number of People box and click Calculate. The tool adds the tip to the bill, divides the total evenly and highlights each person's share. For separate orders, run the calculator once per person.
Why don't the split amounts add up to the total?
Each share is rounded to the cent for display, so the parts can be off by a cent or two. A $115 total split three ways shows $38.33 each, which adds up to $114.99. Have one person round their share up to cover the gap.
Does this tip calculator work with other currencies?
Yes. The math is the same in any currency, so enter euros, pounds, rupees or yen as plain numbers. The results always show a $ sign and two decimals in US style, such as $1,456.78, so read the sign as your own currency.
Can I enter a custom tip percentage?
Yes. Type any rate in the Tip Percentage box, including decimals like 17.5, or 0 for no tip. There is no upper limit. The box takes a percentage only, so if you want to leave a flat amount such as $10, just add it to the bill yourself.
Can I use it for delivery, salon or taxi tips?
Yes. It works for any service where you tip a percentage, such as food delivery, a haircut, nails, a tattoo or a taxi ride. Type the price of the service, pick or type your rate, and leave people at 1 unless you are sharing the cost.
Why is the Calculate button grayed out?
Calculate turns on once the bill box has a number of 0 or more, the tip is 0 or more and at least one person is set. The people box counts whole people, so 2.5 is read as 2. After you change a number, click Calculate again, since results don't refresh on their own.
Is this tip calculator free and private?
Yes. It's free with no sign-up, account or usage limit. The amounts you type stay in your browser and are never saved or sent to us. The page loads Google Analytics for visit counts; the calculator sends it no amounts.
