Tip Calculator

A tip calculator is an online tool that helps you quickly calculate appropriate tip amounts for restaurants, delivery services, and other tipping scenarios. Whether you're dining out, ordering delivery, using rideshare services, or getting personal services, our tip calculator instantly shows tip amounts for common percentages (15%, 18%, 20%, 25%) and allows bill splitting among multiple people.

This calculator determines the tip amount by multiplying the bill total by the tip percentage, shows the total amount including tip, and can divide the final amount by the number of people to show per-person cost. It simplifies the mental math of calculating percentages and splitting bills, ensuring fair splits and appropriate gratuity.

Calculating tips accurately and quickly enhances dining experiences and ensures fair compensation for service workers. While basic percentages seem simple, adding tip to odd bill amounts, splitting among groups, or calculating on pre-tax vs. post-tax totals can be confusing. A tip calculator eliminates errors and awkward moments trying to divide bills at the table.

Restaurant diners use tip calculators to quickly determine appropriate tips based on service quality, with standard tips being 15% for adequate service, 18-20% for good service, and 20-25% for exceptional service. Group diners benefit from automatic bill splitting that ensures everyone pays their fair share including tip. Delivery customers use it to tip drivers appropriately based on distance, weather, and service quality.

The tool ensures accuracy by performing precise percentage calculations, provides instant results for multiple tip scenarios, and handles bill splitting seamlessly. It's particularly valuable when dining in groups, calculating tips on large bills, tipping in unfamiliar currencies, or when you want to tip a specific percentage between standard amounts.

Restaurant Dining: Calculate tips quickly at restaurants for breakfast, lunch, or dinner bills, adjusting for service quality.

Group Dining: Split bills fairly among friends or colleagues, ensuring each person pays their share of the meal plus tip.

Delivery Services: Calculate appropriate tips for food delivery, grocery delivery, or package delivery based on service and distance.

Personal Services: Determine tips for hairstylists, spa services, taxi rides, hotel staff, or other service professionals.

Pre-Tax vs. Post-Tax: Calculate tips on the pre-tax bill amount (common practice) or post-tax amount depending on preference.

Using our tip calculator is effortless: enter the bill amount, select or enter your desired tip percentage (15%, 18%, 20%, 25%, or custom), and optionally enter the number of people splitting the bill. The calculator instantly shows the tip amount, total bill including tip, and per-person cost if splitting.

The calculator uses simple formulas: Tip Amount = Bill × (Tip % / 100), Total = Bill + Tip Amount, Per Person = Total / Number of People. For example, a $85 bill with 20% tip: Tip = $85 × 0.20 = $17, Total = $85 + $17 = $102. Split 4 ways: $102 / 4 = $25.50 per person. Standard tipping guidelines: 15% for adequate service, 18-20% for good service, 20-25% for exceptional service, 10% or less for poor service (address issues with management).
