How to use the tip calculator
Enter the bill amount, pick a tip percentage (or tap a quick button), and set how many people are splitting the bill. The tip, the total and each person's share update instantly. Tick round up to make paying in cash easier. The extra goes to the server as part of the tip.
Tip formula
Tip = Bill × Tip % ÷ 100
Per person = (Bill + Tip) ÷ Number of people
Example: an $85 bill with an 18% tip is $85 × 0.18 = $15.30, for a total of $100.30. Split two ways, that's $50.15 each.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant in the US?
For sit-down service in the US, 15%–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard, with 20% now common for good service and 18%–20% often added automatically for large groups. Tipping practices differ a lot by country.
Should I tip on the total before or after tax?
Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax amount. Many people tip on the total for simplicity — the difference is small. Enter whichever amount you prefer.
How do I quickly calculate a 20% tip?
Move the decimal point one place left to get 10%, then double it. For a $64 bill, 10% is $6.40, so 20% is $12.80.
