How it's calculated
Tip = bill × tip% ÷ 100. Total = bill + tip.
Each person pays the total divided by the number of people. "Round up" rounds the total up to the nearest whole unit.

Tipping norms vary by country — the suggested rate is a starting point, not an obligation.
How much should I tip?
In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is typical for table service. Elsewhere tipping norms vary widely — some countries include service or don't tip at all.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Either is common. This calculator applies the percentage to the bill amount you enter.
How is the bill split?
The total (bill plus tip) is divided evenly between everyone. Use "round up" to avoid awkward fractions.
About this calculator
This calculator works out how much to tip and how to split the total bill among any number of people. Enter the bill amount, choose a tip percentage, and set the number of diners — you get the tip, the final total, and each person's share instantly.
How to read your results
The result shows four figures: the tip amount, the grand total (bill plus tip), each person's share of the total, and each person's share of the tip alone. If you enable "round up", the total is rounded to the nearest whole unit of your currency — useful when you want to avoid dealing with small change. Tipping customs vary by country: in the United States 15–20 % is standard for restaurant table service; in many European and East Asian countries tipping is discretionary or already included in the bill.
Worked example
A bill of 50 at 18 % tip, split among 4 people, round-up off.
Tip is 9, total is 59, each person pays 14.75, and each person's tip share is 2.25.
Frequently asked questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Both conventions exist. In the United States the conventional approach is to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, though many people simply tip on whatever amount appears on the bill. This calculator applies the tip percentage to whatever number you enter, so you can use either the pre-tax or post-tax figure.
How much should I tip?
Norms differ significantly by country and service type. In the US, 15 % is considered the minimum for adequate service, 18–20 % is common for good service, and 20–25 % for excellent service. In the UK, 10–15 % is typical. In Japan, tipping is not customary and may even be declined. Always check local custom before travelling.
What does "round up" do?
When "round up" is enabled, the calculator raises the combined total (bill plus tip) to the next whole currency unit. For example, a total of 58.60 becomes 59.00. The tip amount is adjusted upward to cover the difference, making it simpler to settle the bill with exact notes.
How is the per-person amount calculated?
The full total — bill plus tip — is divided equally among the number of people you specify. If you want an unequal split (for example, someone ordered more), you can set the number of people to 1 and handle the allocation manually.
Does this calculator account for service charges already included in the bill?
No — if the restaurant has already added a service charge, you should subtract it from the bill before entering the amount, or simply set the tip percentage to 0 % to see the per-person share of a fixed bill.
How it's calculated
Tip = bill × tipPercent ÷ 100. Total = bill + tip (then raised to the next whole number if "round up" is active). Per person = total ÷ numberOfPeople. Tip per person = tip ÷ numberOfPeople. All intermediate values are rounded to two decimal places; the round-up step, when active, applies to the combined total before the per-person division.
