Tip Calculator & Bill Splitter
Work out the tip and split a bill evenly or by what each person owes.
About this tip calculator & bill splitter
Two jobs that always come up at the same time: how much to tip, and who owes what. This does both, and handles the awkward cases — rounding the total to something tidy, or splitting unevenly when one person had the expensive thing.
Tipping customs vary enormously. In the United States 15 to 20% is standard for table service; in much of Europe rounding up is normal; in Japan tipping can be considered rude. The presets here cover the common cases, and you can type any percentage.
How to use it
- Enter the bill total.
- Choose a tip percentage or type your own.
- Set how many people are splitting it.
- Optionally round the per-person amount up to a whole number.
Tip Calculator & Bill Splitter — FAQ
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Convention in the US is to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, though many people simply use the total. The difference is small; nobody will mind either way.
How much should I tip?
In the US, 15% is standard and 20% is generous for table service. In the UK 10 to 12.5% is typical and often already added as a service charge — check the bill before adding more.
Can I split unevenly?
Yes. Switch to custom split and enter what each person's share of the bill was; the tip is then divided in proportion.
