About Tip & Bill Split Calculator

Work out the tip and split the bill. Pick 10, 15, 18, 20, or 25 percent or enter your own rate, choose how many people are paying, and see each person's share. You can also round each share up to the next dollar.

How much to tip

In the US, 15 to 20 percent is standard for table service, with 18 to 20 percent common in cities. Many people tip 20 percent or more for excellent service or large groups. Customs differ by country; in much of Europe and Asia, service is included or tipping is optional.

Some people tip on the pre-tax amount and some on the total. This calculator applies the percentage to the bill amount you enter, so enter the pre-tax subtotal if that is your preference.

Splitting fairly

Each person's share includes their part of the tip. Turning on rounding makes everyone pay a whole dollar amount, with the extra going to the tip, which avoids handling coins and keeps the split even.

The breakdown shows the effective tip percentage after rounding, so you can see exactly how generous the final total is.
