Tip Calculator
Pick a tip, split the bill, done — see tip amount, total, and everyone's share instantly.
No more awkward bill math
The check arrives, everyone reaches for their phone, and somebody has to do the mental gymnastics of tip-plus-split while the server waits. This free tip calculator ends that ritual: enter the bill, tap a tip preset (or type your own), drag the split slider, and every number — tip amount, grand total, each person's share — updates live.
In the US, 15–20% is the standard restaurant tip for table service, with 18% the comfortable middle ground and 20–25% for standout service. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is the etiquette-book answer, though most people just tip on the total. Either way, this tool keeps the math honest so the only debate left is who got the extra appetizer.
How to use the tip calculator
- Enter the bill amount.
- Choose a tip: tap 10/15/18/20/25% or type a custom percentage.
- Set the split: drag the slider to the number of people and read each share.
