Tip Calculator

Calculate tip, split the bill among any number of people, and optionally round each share up to the next dollar.

Inputs

Pre-tip subtotal from your check.

US standard is 15-20%. Europe often 5-10% or service-included.

Number of people sharing the bill evenly.

Rounding up tips slightly more — kinder to your server.

Step-by-step

  1. Calculate tip: $50 × 18% = $9.
  2. Calculate total: $50 + $9 = $59.
  3. Split between 1: $59 ÷ 1 = $59 per person.

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.

Frequently asked

Sit-down restaurants: 15% is acceptable, 18-20% is standard for good service, 20%+ for excellent service or large parties. Counter service and takeout typically need less or none.
