Quick Tools
Tip Calculator
A restaurant tip calculator for the bill, tip percent, and how you split the check. Enter the pre-tip amount, tap a common percent or type a custom tip, and set the party size. The page shows the tip, the total, and each person’s share. Display amounts round to the nearest cent. Nothing is uploaded. Sales tax is included only if you put tax in the bill; this is not tax advice.
Frequently asked questions
How is the tip amount calculated?
Tip amount is bill × tip percent ÷ 100. A $86.40 bill at 20% is $17.28. Total bill is the original amount plus that tip. Nothing else (tax, service fees, or delivery) is added unless you already included it in the bill field.
What tip percent should I use?
In the U.S., 15–20% is a common sit-down range, with 18–20% typical for good table service and 22–25% for exceptional service. Counter service, takeout, and delivery often use a smaller percent or a flat amount. Local customs and posted service charges vary—use a preset or type a custom percent.
How does splitting the bill work?
Party size must be a whole number of 1 or more. Tip per person is the tip divided by that count; total per person is the tipped total divided by that count. The split is even. If you want an uneven split, run the calculator twice with each person’s share of the bill.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or after-tax amount?
Many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal; others tip on the total including tax. This calculator uses whatever number you enter as the bill. Enter the pre-tax amount to tip on food and drink only, or the after-tax total if that is your habit.
Can I enter a custom tip percent?
Yes. Use the preset buttons for 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, or 25%, or type any percent in Custom tip—including 0% to see an even split of the bill with no tip, or a number like 12.5.
Is my bill stored or uploaded?
No. All math runs in your browser. Quick Tools does not create an account, save the bill, or send numbers to a server.
