Tip and bill split calculator
Enter the bill, choose a tip percentage and say how many people are sharing. You get the tip, the total and what each person owes.
How the tip and bill split calculator works
The tip is a percentage of the bill, the total is the bill plus the tip, and the share is the total divided by the number of people. The calculator also shows a rounded-up figure per person, which is handy when you are paying with cash and do not want to count coins.
Tipping customs differ widely between countries and even between places, so the percentage is yours to choose.
The formula behind it
Tip = bill × tip % ÷ 100. Each person = (bill + tip) ÷ people.
A worked example
A bill of $86.40 with an 18% tip is a tip of $15.55 and a total of $101.95. Split three ways, each person pays $33.98, or $34 rounded up.
Questions people ask
How much should I tip?
It depends on where you are. In the US, 15% to 20% is typical for table service. In many other countries, 5% to 10% or simply rounding up is normal, and some include service in the bill. Check local custom.
Should I tip on the pre-tax amount?
Many people tip on the pre-tax total, but tipping on the full bill is also common. It is a personal choice.
What if people ate different amounts?
Split only the shared items evenly, and add each person's own dishes separately. Or use the calculator for each person's subtotal.
Can I use it for a service charge?
Yes. Enter the service charge percentage in the tip box.
