How the tip calculator works
This calculator computes the tip amount, total bill, and per-person split based on your inputs.
Formula: Tip = Bill Amount × (Tip Percentage / 100)
Common tipping guidelines in the US:
- 15% — Standard for adequate service
- 18% — Good service
- 20% — Excellent service (most common default)
- 25%+ — Exceptional service or small bills
When splitting, the calculator divides the total (bill + tip) evenly among all diners. For uneven splits, you can use the per-person amount as a starting point and adjust manually.
Tips are customary in the United States for table service, delivery, and many personal services. Practices vary internationally — some countries include service charges automatically.
Tip calculator FAQs
Answers to common tipping questions.
How much should I tip?
In the US, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurant service. 15% for adequate service, 18% for good service, 20% for excellent service, and 25%+ for exceptional service or very small bills.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Etiquette experts are divided, but tipping on the pre-tax amount is generally acceptable. Tipping on the post-tax total is more generous and simpler to calculate.
Is tipping required?
In the US, tipping is customary and expected for table service, as servers' wages are structured around tip income. Many other countries include service charges automatically or don't have a tipping culture.
How do I split the bill fairly?
This calculator divides the total (bill + tip) evenly by the number of people. For uneven orders, consider splitting by individual totals instead of dividing equally.
