Tip Calculator

The Tip Calculator answers the two questions that come up at the end of every restaurant meal: how much tip should I leave, and how do we split this fairly? Enter the bill total, pick or type a tip percentage, and set how many people are splitting the check — the result shows the tip amount, the grand total, and the per-person share of both, so nobody has to do mental math at the table.

Quick-select buttons for common tip percentages (10%, 15%, 18%, 20% and 25%) cover most service scenarios in one tap, from a quick coffee-shop counter tip to a generous amount for excellent full-service dining, while the percentage field stays fully editable for any custom number a group agrees on. The split field divides both the tip and the total evenly across however many people you set it to — from a solo diner (1) up to a large group.

This is a simple multiplication and division tool at heart, but getting the order of operations right matters: the tip is calculated on the bill amount first, then the tip and bill are summed into a total, and only then is everything divided by the number of people — so a rounding difference from doing it in the wrong order never creeps in. It's also a handy way to settle the recurring debate over whether tax should be included in the base the tip is calculated on — this tool always tips on the bill amount you enter, so if your receipt separates subtotal from tax, enter the subtotal for a pre-tax tip or the total for a tip on the full bill.

Like every tool here, it runs instantly in your browser with no ads interrupting the calculation and no data sent anywhere — useful even with spotty restaurant Wi-Fi or no signal at all, since the page keeps working once loaded. It's free, requires no account, and works identically well for a quick solo coffee-shop tip or a large group dinner split a dozen ways.
