Tip Calculator

Calculate tip amount and total bill with tip in your browser. Enter bill subtotal and tip percentage for instant results.

What tip percentages are common?

In the US, 18–20% is typical for sit-down service; 15% for adequate service; higher for exceptional care or large groups. Adjust for local customs when traveling.

What does the calculator show?

After you enter bill amount and tip percentage, results show the tip dollar amount and the total including tip (bill + tip), rounded to two decimal places.

Should tip be on pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Etiquette varies by region. Many diners tip on pre-tax subtotal; some calculate on full total including tax. Enter whichever base amount you prefer in the bill field.

Can I round totals for cash?

Results display cents precisely. Round up the total when paying cash for convenience after reading the calculated tip and total.

Can I split the bill among people?

This tool computes one bill's tip and total. To split evenly, divide the total by headcount manually or use a dedicated split-bill app alongside these numbers.

What if I enter negative numbers?

Bill and tip percentage must be non-negative finite numbers. Invalid input shows an error—use zero tip percent if you are not leaving a gratuity.

Is data uploaded?

No. Math runs locally in your browser.

Which currency does it use?

The tool performs pure math on the numbers you enter—it does not attach currency symbols. Enter amounts in whatever currency your receipt uses.

What about automatic service charges?

Some receipts include a mandatory service charge already in the total—do not tip twice on the same amount. Read line items before entering the bill subtotal field.

Is Tip Calculator free?

Yes. Free with no login required.

Should I tip before or after tax?

Customs vary. Many diners tip on the pre-tax subtotal; some venues expect tip on the post-tax total. Check the receipt layout and local norms. This calculator lets you enter the amount you intend to tip on—match that field to your preferred convention.

How do I split unevenly when one person ordered more?

Run the calculator once per share: enter each person’s items subtotal (or an agreed amount), compute tip and total for that share, then sum. For a quick even split, use the party-size field when the UI provides it, then settle differences in cash for specialty drinks.
