How this works
Tip = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100) Total = Bill + Tip Per Person = Total ÷ PeopleThe tip is calculated on the pre-tax bill amount (standard US practice). The total adds the tip back to the bill, and the per-person split divides the total by the number of people at the table.
Examples
Dinner for two with good service
Your bill comes to $85.00 for two people. For good service you leave an 18% tip. The calculator does 85 × 0.18 = $15.30 tip, total $100.30, and $50.15 per person.
Large group splitting the check
Your group of six has a $240 bill and wants to leave 20%. Tip is 240 × 0.20 = $48.00. Total is $288.00. Split six ways, each person owes $48.00.
Takeout order
You order $32 of takeout. A 10% tip is customary for takeout in the US, so you add $3.20, bringing the total to $35.20. Tip is optional for takeout but appreciated.
Exceptional service
A $120 bill for a great anniversary dinner. You want to leave 25%. The tip is 120 × 0.25 = $30.00, with a total of $150.00. For outstanding experiences, 25%+ is common.
Common questions
In the United States, the standard practice is to tip on the pre-tax subtotal. Some people tip on the post-tax total as a simpler convention or to tip more generously. Our calculator uses the pre-tax amount by default — enter the subtotal shown on the check before tax.
15% is considered the minimum for adequate sit-down restaurant service in the US. 18% is standard for good service. 20% is increasingly common and typical for very good service. 25% or more is appropriate for exceptional experiences. For takeout, 10% is typical; for delivery, 15–20% is standard.
This calculator splits the total evenly across the number of people you enter. For uneven splits (one person had more expensive items), the simplest method is to calculate each person's subtotal separately, then apply the same tip percentage to everyone's portion.
Tipping customs vary widely. In Japan, tipping is considered rude in most contexts. In much of Europe, service is often included in the bill and tips of 5–10% are optional. In the US and Canada, tipping 15–20% is expected at sit-down restaurants. Check local norms before you travel.
Yes. The standard convention is to tip on the full pre-tax bill including alcohol. Some fine-dining patrons tip slightly less on expensive wine (since the bottle is poured in seconds), but the default is to treat the whole check the same way.
