How the tip & bill split calculator works
No more awkward phone-math at the table. Enter the bill, pick a tip rate, add the headcount — the calculator shows the tip, the total, and what each person owes.
The formula
tip = bill × (rate ÷ 100) · each pays = (bill + tip) ÷ people
Worked example
A $64 bill with an 18% tip split 3 ways: the tip is $11.52, the total is $75.52, and each person pays about $25.17.
Where this comes in handy
- Restaurants: tip fairly without overthinking the math.
- Group dinners: split evenly or check what your share should be.
- Delivery and takeout: decide on a reasonable tip for smaller orders.
- Travel: adjust for countries where tipping customs differ.
Tip & Bill Split Calculator — frequently asked questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for table service, with 18–20% common for good service. Counter service and takeout are typically lower or optional.
What is the fastest way to calculate 20% in your head?
Move the decimal one place left for 10%, then double it. On a $46 bill: $4.60 × 2 = $9.20.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Custom is to tip on the pre-tax subtotal. Tipping on the total including tax slightly over-tips, which most servers will not complain about.
How do you split a bill with different orders?
Have everyone cover their own items plus tax, then split shared items and add an agreed tip rate on top. This calculator handles the even-split case.
What is a good tip for delivery drivers?
Around 15–20% or a few dollars minimum for small orders, more in bad weather or for long distances.
