The tip formula

Tip = bill × tip percent ÷ 100. Total = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ number of people. Example: a 1,850 bill with a 10% tip is 185 in tip, 2,035 in total, or 1,017.50 each for two people.

Rounding options change the tip slightly: rounding the total of 2,035 up to the next whole unit changes nothing here, but a 15% tip on 1,234 (185.10) becomes 186 when rounded up. The effective percentage is displayed so you can see what you're actually leaving.

How much to tip

Customs vary a lot. In India a service charge is often already on the bill and tipping 5–10% beyond it is a courtesy, not an expectation. In the United States 15–20% is standard for table service. In Japan tipping is unusual. When a service charge is included, check the bill before adding a tip on top. If a tip is calculated on the pre-tax amount in your country, enter that amount as the bill.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a 15% tip quickly?

Take 10% by moving the decimal point one place left, then add half of that. For 1,850 that is 185 + 92.50 = 277.50. Or just enter the bill here and tap 15%.

Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?

It depends on local custom. Many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal. Enter whichever amount you want the percentage applied to; the tool does not add tax itself.

Can I split the bill unevenly?

This calculator splits the total equally. For uneven splits, work out each person's own subtotal and enter it separately with the same tip percentage.

Is the bill amount stored anywhere?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing is uploaded or saved. This is a convenience calculator, not financial advice.
