What this calculator does

Calculates the tip amount, the total bill including tip, and each person's share from a bill amount, a tip percentage, and the number of people splitting it.

How to use it

Enter the bill amount, set the tip percentage, and enter how many people are splitting the bill. Results update immediately as you change any value.

Worked example

With the defaults of a 100 bill, 15% tip, and 2 people, tip amount = 100 × 0.15 = 15.00, total = 100 + 15 = 115.00, per person = 115 ÷ 2 = 57.50, and tip per person = 15 ÷ 2 = 7.50.

Formula

Tip amount = bill × (tip % ÷ 100). Total = bill + tip amount. Per person = total ÷ number of people. Tip per person = tip amount ÷ number of people. The number of people is always rounded down to a whole number and floored at 1.

Choosing a tip percentage

Tipping norms vary widely by country and even by service type — some countries have no tipping culture at all, some expect around 10%, and others, often table service in the US, expect 18-20% or more. 15% is a common US default, but adjust it to your local norm or to the quality of service.

Limitations

This splits the total evenly across everyone — it doesn't handle uneven splits, such as one person ordering more than another, doesn't account for tax being calculated separately from the tip, and doesn't check whether a service charge is already included in the bill you enter, since tipping on top of an already-included service charge effectively double-tips.

Scope, sources and privacy

Tip amount = bill × tip rate and even-split division are standard, widely used calculations. Calculations run locally in your browser; the values you enter are never uploaded.
