A tip calculator works out how much to add to a bill as a tip and what everyone pays. Multiply the amount you tip on by the tip percentage and divide by 100, add the result to the bill for the total, then divide the total by the number of people to split it.
This tip calculator also works as a split bill calculator and a gratuity calculator. It can leave the tax out of the tip, round each share or the whole bill up to a tidy number, and show a table of tips from 5% to 50% for the same bill. Results change as you type, and the working under the result shows every step. For other everyday sums, see the free online calculators.
| Bill and tip | Tip | Total | Each pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| 55.00 at 15%, 1 person | 8.25 | 63.25 | 63.25 |
| 55.00 at 20%, 2 people | 11.00 | 66.00 | 33.00 |
| 100.00 at 18%, 3 people | 18.00 | 118.00 | 39.33 (one pays 39.34) |
| 108.00 with 8.00 tax, 20% before tax | 20.00 | 128.00 | 128.00 |
| 84.60 at 15%, 4 people, each rounded up | 15.40 (18.2%) | 100.00 | 25.00 |

Type the amount on the receipt. Commas for thousands are fine, and 55,50 is read as 55.50. Pick a currency symbol from the menu if you want one.
Tap 10, 15, 18, 20 or 25 percent, type any other percentage such as 17.5 in the Custom box, or tap a row in the 5% to 50% table.
Use the plus and minus buttons for the number of people. The result shows what each person pays, and who pays the odd cent when it does not divide evenly.
Add the tax to tip on the amount before tax, round each share or the total up, then copy the result or share a link that opens with the same numbers.
Every tip calculation is a percentage of the bill. Turn the percentage into a decimal by dividing by 100, multiply it by the amount you tip on, and add it to the bill. Money is rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent rounded up.
For quick mental maths, move the decimal point one place to the left to get 10%. Double that for 20%, or add half of it for 15%. On a 47.80 bill, 10% is 4.78, 20% is 9.56 and 15% is 4.78 + 2.39 = 7.17. If you round, the significant figures calculator explains how rounding rules work in general.
| Value | Formula |
|---|---|
| Tip base | Bill minus tax (before tax), or the whole bill (after tax) |
| Tip | Tip base × tip % ÷ 100 |
| Total | Bill + tip |
| Each person pays | Total ÷ number of people |
| Tip per person | Tip ÷ number of people |
| Effective tip | Tip after rounding ÷ tip base × 100 |

Many tip calculators ask for a bill and a percentage and stop there. These are the details that change what you actually pay.
| Feature | Basic tip calculator | This calculator |
|---|---|---|
| Results | Often needs a Calculate button | Updates as you type, with an answer on first load |
| Split the bill | Total divided by people, odd cents ignored | Exact split that says who pays the extra cent |
| Tax | Tip on whatever you enter | Optional tax field, tip before or after tax |
| Rounding | None, or the total only | Round each person or the total up, with the effective tip shown |
| Several tip levels | One percentage at a time | Live table from 5% to 50% for your bill and group |
| Working | Answer only | Each step written out |
| Currency | Usually dollars only | Dollar, euro, pound, rupee, yen or no symbol |
| Sharing | Rare | Copy the result or share a link with the same numbers |
Enter the bill, the tip and the number of people, and read off one figure each person pays, rounded up if you prefer a tidy number.
Card machines and receipts sometimes print suggested tips. Compare them with the table to see what each percentage means in money, and whether it is worked out before or after tax.
Type a custom percentage or tap a row in the table to see a few options side by side before you choose.
Split a shared meal on a trip, then add it to a running budget in the expense calculator.
Switch the symbol to euro, pound, rupee or yen. The arithmetic is the same, and yen amounts are shown without decimals.
Copy the result and paste it into the online notepad or a group chat so everyone sees the same numbers.
This page does not tell you how much to tip. Tipping is a matter of local custom and differs between countries and settings, so the right amount is the one that fits where you are. These points help with the sums.
Some bills already include a service charge. Under the IRS definition, an automatic charge is a service charge, not a tip, so read the bill before you add more.
Tipping on the amount before tax gives a slightly smaller tip. Enter the tax from the receipt and switch between the two to see the difference.
Rounding up always adds to the tip. The Effective tip figure shows the real percentage after rounding.
63.25 split three ways is 21.08 with one cent left, so one person pays 21.09. The calculator shows this instead of hiding it.
A gratuity calculator, a tip calculator and a tip percentage calculator all do the same maths.
Nothing you type leaves your browser. After the page loads, the calculator keeps working without a connection.
It divides the bill equally. If people ordered very different amounts, work out the share of each person first and run each one through the calculator.
It does the arithmetic and does not suggest an amount. For how tips are treated for tax, see the IRS page on tip recordkeeping.
Rounding goes up to the next whole dollar, euro, pound, rupee or yen. Tips are capped at 100% and splits at 1,000 people.
The calculations are plain percentage arithmetic, checked against the worked examples on this page. The definitions come from these references, last checked on November 9, 2026.
Short answers to common questions about tips and splitting the bill.
Multiply the amount you are tipping on by the tip percentage, then divide by 100. For a 55.00 bill at 15 percent the tip is 55 × 0.15 = 8.25, and the total is 55.00 + 8.25 = 63.25.
Add the tip to the bill, then divide the total by the number of people. When the total does not divide evenly into cents, this calculator says how many people pay one cent more so the shares add up to the exact total.
There is no single correct amount. Tipping is a matter of local custom that varies between countries and settings, so check what is usual where you are and whether a service charge is already on the bill. The chips offer 10 to 25 percent as quick choices, and you can type any other percentage.
That is your choice, and the calculator handles both. Enter the tax shown on the receipt and pick Before tax to tip only on the food and service, or After tax to tip on the full amount, which gives a slightly larger tip.
A 15 percent tip on 55.00 is 8.25, so the total is 63.25. At 20 percent the tip is 11.00 and the total is 66.00.
A 20 percent tip on 100.00 is 20.00, making the total 120.00. Split between four people, each pays 30.00.
Move the decimal point one place to the left to get 10 percent, so 10 percent of 47.80 is 4.78. Double it for 20 percent, or add half of it for 15 percent.
It rounds each share up to the next whole amount, so everyone pays a tidy figure, and the extra goes to the tip. The calculator shows the new tip and the effective tip percentage after rounding.
A tip is voluntary and you decide the amount, while a service charge is added to the bill by the business. The IRS treats automatic charges and required gratuities as service charges rather than tips, so check the bill before adding a tip on top.
Yes. Gratuity is the more formal word for a tip, an amount a customer gives a service worker on top of the price of the service, so a gratuity calculator and a tip calculator do the same job.
Yes. Pick the symbol from the menu next to the bill amount; the maths is the same in every currency. Yen amounts are shown in whole units because the yen has no everyday smaller unit.
No. The calculation runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. The numbers appear in the page address only so a shared link opens with the same bill, and your currency choice is remembered on your own device.
