How to use this calculator
- Enter the bill amount before tip (use the pre-tax subtotal for US tipping etiquette).
- Pick a tip percentage — 15% standard, 18-20% good service, 20%+ excellent.
- Set how many people are splitting the bill evenly.
- Choose whether to round each share up to the next whole dollar — easier to pay, slightly nicer tip.
About this calculator
Tipping varies by country and context. In the United States, 15-20% on the pre-tax subtotal is the standard for sit-down service, with 20%+ reserved for excellent service or larger parties. Europe is typically lower (5-10%) and a service charge is often already included on the bill, so check before adding more. When splitting between friends, the math gets awkward when the per-person amount has odd cents — rounding up to the next whole dollar makes paying simpler and slightly increases the tip, which servers appreciate. This calculator handles all three: figuring the tip, splitting the bill evenly, and showing you exactly what changes when you round up.
