Tip Calculator

How it works

Tip = bill × tip % ÷ 100. Total = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ number of people. Use 18–20% in the US for table service.

Frequently asked

What is a normal tip percentage in the US?

The standard tip is 18–20% of the pre-tax bill for sit-down service. For takeout or counter service, 10% or a flat amount is common.

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

Either is acceptable. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal saves a small amount; tipping on the total is simpler and slightly more generous.

How do I split a bill evenly?

Add the tip to the bill, then divide by the number of people. This calculator does both at once.
