Guide

How to calculate a tip

A tip is a percentage of the bill, so the math is simply tip = bill * (percentage / 100), and the total is the bill plus that tip. For a $50 bill at 18%, the tip is $9 and the total is $59. This calculator does it instantly, adds quick-tip buttons for common rates, lets you round the total up or down, and splits the result across any number of people.

How much should you tip?

Tipping norms vary by country and service, but in the United States the common guidelines are:

Restaurants (sit-down): 15% to 20%, with 18% to 20% considered standard for good service.
Bars: about $1 to $2 per drink, or 15% to 20% of the tab.
Food delivery: 10% to 15%, often with a small minimum of a few dollars.
Taxis and rideshare: 10% to 15%.
Counter service and takeout: optional; round up or tip a little for extra help.

Tip before or after tax?

Strictly, a tip is for the service, so it is calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. In practice many people tip on the post-tax total because it is simpler and the difference is small. Either is acceptable; tipping on the pre-tax amount is the technically correct and slightly more economical choice.

Splitting the bill

For a group, you can split the total evenly or by what each person ordered. Even splitting divides the grand total (bill plus tip) by the number of diners. The calculator handles both, and the rounding option is handy when you want each share to land on a clean number. Note that tipping customs differ worldwide: in many countries service is included or tipping is minimal, so adjust when travelling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate a tip?

Multiply your bill by the tip percentage (as a decimal). For a 20% tip on a $50 bill: $50 × 0.20 = $10 tip. Total = $60. This calculator does it instantly for any amount and percentage.

How much should I tip at a restaurant?

The standard restaurant tip in the US is 15–20% for good service, 10–15% for average service, and 20–25% for excellent service. Some high-end restaurants add an automatic gratuity of 18–20% for parties of 6 or more.

How do I split a bill evenly?

Add the tip to the total bill, then divide by the number of people. For example, $120 bill + $24 tip (20%) = $144 total ÷ 4 people = $36 each.

Is tip calculated before or after tax?

Both approaches are common. Calculating tip on the pre-tax amount is technically correct and slightly lower. Most people tip on the post-tax total for simplicity, as the difference is small.

How do I tip on a delivery order?

For food delivery, 10–15% of the order total is standard, with a minimum of $3–5 for small orders. For orders in bad weather or difficult conditions, 20% or more is appreciated.
