How It Works
Calculating the tip
Multiply the bill amount by your chosen tip percentage. For example, a $50 bill with a 20% tip adds $10, for a total of $60.
Splitting between people
Divide the total (bill plus tip) by the number of people to get the amount each person owes.
Example: Splitting a Dinner Bill
A $120 bill split four ways with an 18% tip: the tip is $21.60, the total is $141.60, and each person pays $35.40.
Common Mistakes
- Calculating the tip on the post-tax total instead of the pre-tax subtotal.
- Rounding each person's share before adding it up, which can leave the group a few cents short or over.
- Forgetting to round up the per-person amount when splitting an odd total in cash.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a standard tip percentage?
- In the United States, 15–20% is typical for restaurant service, with 20% common for good service. Standards vary by country and service type.
- Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
- Most etiquette guides recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, though tipping on the total after tax is also common and simpler to calculate.
- How do I split a bill unevenly?
- This calculator splits the total evenly across the number of people entered. For uneven splits, calculate each person's share of the subtotal first, then apply the same tip percentage to each share.
