Free Tip Calculator

Work out the tip and total for a bill, and split it evenly between any number of people.

Tip
10.00
Total bill
60.00

Quick answer

To calculate a tip, multiply the bill by the tip percentage divided by 100. The total is the bill plus the tip. To split it, divide the total by the number of people. For example, a 20% tip on a $50 bill is $10, for a $60 total — $30 each between two people.

Formula & method

tip = bill × (tip% ÷ 100);  total = bill + tip;  per person = total ÷ people
  • bill — the pre-tip amount
  • tip% — the tip percentage, e.g. 18
  • people — how many ways to split the total

Examples

Example 1: 20% on $50
Input
bill = 50, tip = 20%
Result
Tip $10.00, total $60.00
Why
50 × 0.20 = 10; 50 + 10 = 60.
Example 2: 18% split 3 ways
Input
bill = 90, tip = 18%, people = 3
Result
Total $106.20, $35.40 each
Why
Tip 16.20; total 106.20; 106.20 ÷ 3 = 35.40.
Example 3: 15% on $32.40
Input
bill = 32.40, tip = 15%
Result
Tip $4.86, total $37.26
Why
32.40 × 0.15 = 4.86.

When to use this tool

  • Splitting a restaurant or bar bill with friends.
  • Quickly checking a fair tip for a service.
  • Working out a group total before paying.

Common mistakes

  • Tipping on the post-tax total when you meant the pre-tax amount — decide which base you want.
  • Rounding the per-person share down so the tip ends up short. Round the total up if needed.
  • Forgetting that tipping customs vary widely by country and service.

Frequently asked questions

＋ How do I calculate a tip?

Multiply the bill by the tip percentage divided by 100. For a 20% tip on $50, that’s 50 × 0.20 = $10.

＋ How much should I tip?

It depends on the country and service. In the US, 15–20% at restaurants is common; elsewhere tipping may be lower or already included. This tool lets you choose any percentage.

＋ Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Either is acceptable; many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal. Enter whichever bill amount you prefer as the base.

＋ How do I split the tip between people?

The tool divides the total (bill plus tip) evenly by the number of people. Enter the headcount to see the per-person share.
