Tip Calculator With Split Bill

Calculate the tip amount, total bill, and per-person cost with preset tip percentages and instant bill splitting.

Splitting a restaurant check or figuring out the right tip can slow down the end of a meal, especially with a group. This tip calculator with split bill support takes your bill amount, a tip percentage, and the number of people at the table, then instantly shows the tip amount, the total bill, and exactly what each person owes. It is built for diners splitting a check, servers explaining a bill, and anyone who wants to avoid doing tip math in their head. Preset buttons for 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, and 25% cover the most common tipping scenarios, and a custom field handles any other percentage. Below the calculator, a tipping etiquette guide explains typical tip ranges for restaurants, bars, delivery drivers, salons, rideshare, and hotel housekeeping, so you always know what is appropriate. It also removes the awkward moment of passing a calculator around the table, since one person can check the math and share the result instantly. Every result updates as you type, with no submit button needed.

How It Works

Tip = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100), Per Person = (Bill + Tip) ÷ Number of People

Example: an $86.50 bill with an 18% tip produces a $15.57 tip and a $102.07 total. Split between 2 people, each person pays $51.04, including a $7.79 share of the tip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate a tip?

Multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage as a decimal. For example, an $86.50 bill with an 18% tip is 86.50 × 0.18 = $15.57 in tip, for a total of $102.07.

How does the split bill feature work?

Enter the number of people sharing the bill, and the calculator divides the total (bill plus tip) evenly to show the amount each person owes, along with each person's share of the tip.

What is a standard tip percentage?

In the United States, 15% to 20% is standard for sit-down restaurant service, with 18% to 20% common for good service. The preset buttons cover 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, and 25%.

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

Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically more precise, but many people tip on the total receipt for simplicity. Enter whichever amount you intend to base the tip on.

Do delivery drivers and bartenders expect the same tip as restaurant servers?

Not exactly. The tipping etiquette guide on this page breaks down typical tip ranges for restaurants, bars, delivery, salons, rideshare, and hotel housekeeping.
