How to use it
- 1
Enter the bill and a tip percent, or tap one of the common shortcuts.
- 2
Add a number of people if you want the total split evenly.
- 3
Read the tip, the total, and the per-person amounts. Tax is not added unless it is already in the bill you typed.
A tip is a percent of the bill you type
The tip amount is the bill times P/100. The total is the bill plus the tip. If you split the check, each person pays the total divided by the number of people. The 15%, 18%, and 20% buttons are common starting points in the United States; they are not a requirement, and this page does not apply state or local tipping rules.
This calculator does not add sales tax on its own. If tax is already included in the number you enter, the tip is taken on that amount. If you tip on the pre-tax bill, enter that figure instead.

Frequently asked questions
How is a 15% tip on a 45 bill split three ways?
The tip is 45 × 0.15 = 6.75. The total is 51.75. Split three ways, each person pays 17.25.
Do I have to tip 15%, 18%, or 20%?
No. Those buttons are only shortcuts for rates people often start from in the United States. You can type any other percent.
Does this include tax or a local service rule?
No. There is no tax table and no regional tipping rule. Enter the bill you want the tip calculated on.
What if I leave the split blank?
The tip and total are still calculated. The per-person line is hidden until you enter a whole number of people of at least 1.
How is money rounded?
Amounts default to two decimal places, rounding half-up away from zero, which matches ordinary currency display.
