The tip formula
Tip = bill × tip percentage ÷ 100. Total = bill + tip. Each person pays the total divided by the number of people. On a bill of 85.50 with an 18% tip, the tip is 15.39, the total is 100.89, and two people each pay 50.45 after rounding.
How much to tip
Customs differ a lot between countries. In the United States, 15% to 20% is the usual range in restaurants. In many parts of Europe and Asia, a small round-up or a few percent is normal, and in some places service is already added to the bill. Check your receipt for a service charge before you add a tip on top.
A quick mental shortcut
For 10%, move the decimal one place left. For 20%, double that. For 15%, take the 10% figure and add half of it. The calculator is handy when you want the exact split, especially when the group is larger than two.
Splitting fairly
Even splits are simple, but if one person ordered much less, split by items first and use the calculator on each person's own subtotal. For other share-based maths, see the percentage calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a 20% tip?
Multiply the bill by 0.20. For a bill of 60, a 20% tip is 12.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, while others tip on the full bill. Both are accepted. Enter whichever amount you prefer as the bill.
What if service is already included?
Look for a service charge line on the receipt. If it is there, an extra tip is optional and you can set the tip percentage to 0.
Can I use this with any currency?
Yes. The calculator works with plain numbers, so it suits any currency.
