About Tip Calculator

A tip calculator helps estimate a gratuity and per-person share. Enter the bill and tip percentage, then check local customs and whether service charges are already included.

How to use Tip Calculator

  1. Enter the bill amount before tip.
  2. Enter the tip percentage you want to estimate.
  3. Set the number of people sharing the bill.
  4. Calculate and review the tip amount, total and per-person share.
  5. Adjust rounding so the amounts add up to the amount collected.

Splitting fairly

When the total does not divide evenly, the shares are rounded, so the total of all shares can differ by a little from the bill. Round up to a whole number that you can actually pay, and let one person cover the small difference. If people ordered very different amounts, calculate each person's own part first and then share the tip in proportion.

Frequently asked questions

Should the tip be calculated before or after tax?

Practices vary by location and preference. Enter the bill base you intend to use and follow applicable local guidance.

Why do individual shares not add up exactly?

Rounding to currency units can create a small difference. Adjust the final split to match the actual total.

Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?

Practices differ. Enter the amount you want to base the tip on and follow local custom.

Why do the shares not add up exactly?

Each share is rounded to cents or to the smallest coin. Adjust the last share.
