Tip Calculator

A tip is an additional amount paid for a service. It is usually calculated as a percentage of the bill:

Tip = Bill subtotal × Tip percentage ÷ 100

For example, a 15% tip on a $80 subtotal is $12.

The appropriate percentage depends on the country, local customs, type of service, and whether a service charge is already included. There is no single tip rate that applies everywhere.

Use this free Tip Calculator to work out how much to leave as a tip and how to divide a bill between a group. Enter the bill subtotal, choose a suggested tip percentage or enter your own, and optionally include sales tax.

The calculator shows the tip amount, tax, total bill, and each person's share. You can select a currency, adjust decimal precision, and see the results update as you change the inputs.

In some places, people calculate tips using the bill before sales tax. In other places, local customs or personal preferences may lead to a different approach.

This calculator uses the bill subtotal as the basis for the tip calculation. You can add sales tax separately to see the tax amount and the final bill total. If you want to calculate a tip on a tax-inclusive amount, use that amount as the subtotal and leave the separate tax field empty.

Check local conventions and your receipt, especially if a service charge or gratuity has already been added.

Enter the bill subtotal: Use the amount before sales tax if you want the tip calculated on the pre-tax bill.

Choose a tip percentage: Select one of the available presets or enter a custom percentage.

Add sales tax (optional): Enter the tax rate if you want it included in the final bill.

Set the number of people: Enter how many people will share the bill, up to 1,000.

Select a currency: Choose the currency used for the bill.

Choose decimal precision: Set how many decimal places you want displayed.

The calculator updates the breakdown as you change the values. You can reset the inputs or copy the complete calculation for later use.

The calculator displays four main amounts:

Tip: The additional amount calculated from the subtotal and selected percentage.

Tax: The sales tax calculated using the entered tax rate.

Total bill: The subtotal plus the tip and tax.

Per-person amount: The total bill divided by the number of people.

For a group, each person's amount includes their share of the subtotal, tip, and tax.

Suppose a group has an $80 bill subtotal, chooses a 15% tip, adds 8% sales tax, and splits the bill between four people.

In this example, the tip is calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. The tax is calculated separately on that same subtotal.

A tip calculator can help you:

Estimate a tip before paying a restaurant or service bill.

Compare different tip percentages.

Add sales tax to the final amount.

Divide a shared bill between friends, family, or colleagues.

Check each person's share without calculating it manually.
