Tip Calculator
Work out the tip and split the bill in seconds. Enter the total, pick a tip percentage and choose how many people are sharing.
How to calculate a tip
A tip is a percentage of the bill given for good service. To calculate it, multiply the bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100. For a $60 bill at 18%, that's 60 × 18 ÷ 100 = $10.80, making the total $70.80. To split it, divide the total by the number of people.
Tipping guide
- Restaurants (table service): 15–20%.

Customs vary by country — in many places a service charge is already included and extra tipping isn't expected.
