Tip Calculator
Enter the bill, choose a tip, and split it as many ways as you need.
How the calculation works
The tip is the bill multiplied by the tip percentage. The total is the bill plus the tip, and each person’s share is the total divided by the number of people. For a $120 bill with a 20% tip split four ways, the tip is $24.00, the total is $144.00, and each person pays $36.00.

| $150.00 | $22.50 | $27.00 | $30.00 | $37.50 |

A quick way to check in your head: 10% is the bill with the decimal point moved one place left, so 20% is double that and 15% is 10% plus half of it.
Typical tipping rates in the US
- Sit-down restaurant: 15% to 20% is the usual range, with 20% or more for very good service.
- Food delivery: 15% to 20%, often with a minimum of a few dollars on small orders.
- Bartender: about $1 to $2 per drink, or 15% to 20% of the tab.
- Hair stylist or barber: 15% to 20%.
- Taxi or rideshare: 10% to 20%, or rounding up.
Customs differ widely by country. In Japan tipping isn’t expected, and in much of Europe and Australia service is built into prices or tips are small and optional, so check local practice when traveling.
Before or after tax?
Etiquette guides usually suggest tipping on the pre-tax amount, since tax isn’t part of the service. The difference is small. Enter the subtotal for the pre-tax figure, or the final total if you would rather round up.
Uneven splits
The split assumes everyone pays the same share. If orders differ a lot, add up each person’s items, apply the tip percentage to each subtotal separately, and share any common items evenly.
