How do I split a bill with a tip?

Add the tip to the bill and divide the total by the number of people. Enter the number of people in the calculator and it does this for you.

Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?

Both are common. The calculator with tax on this site shows both, so you can compare them.

What if the service charge is already on the bill?

Then a tip may not be needed. Enter 0 as the percentage or a small extra tip of your own.

tip   = bill x percentage / 100
total = bill + tip

On a bill of 85.50 with an 18% tip, the tip is 85.50 x 0.18 = 15.39 and the total is 100.89.

How to use the calculator

Enter the bill amount.
Pick a tip percentage with the buttons, or type your own.
Enter the number of people if you are splitting the bill.
Choose a rounding option if you want a round number.

Rounding

Round the tip up raises the tip to the next whole amount.
Round the total up raises the total to the next whole amount, and the tip takes up the difference.
Round each person's share up raises what each person pays to the next whole amount, which makes it easy to pay in cash.

When rounding changes the tip, the calculator shows the tip percentage that you really pay.

Quick ways to work out a tip

10%: move the decimal point one place to the left. 10% of 85.50 is 8.55.
15%: add half of the 10% amount to the 10% amount.

How much to tip

Customs differ from country to country and from place to place. Table service in the United States is commonly tipped at 15% to 20%. In the UK, 10% to 12.5% is common, and it is often added to the bill as a service charge. In many other countries a small tip, or none, is usual. Look at your bill before you tip: a service charge may already be included, and in that case you can enter 0 or a small extra amount.
