Our free tip calculator works out the right tip and splits the bill in seconds. Enter the bill amount, choose a tip percentage or tap a quick preset (10%, 15%, 18% or 20%), add the number of people, and the tip calculator shows the total tip, the grand total, the tip per person and exactly how much each person should pay.

It is perfect for restaurants, cafés, food delivery, taxis, salons and group dinners where nobody wants to do maths at the table. It works with any currency and runs entirely in your browser.

What Is a Tip?

A tip, also called a gratuity, is an extra amount paid to service staff on top of the bill to thank them for good service. It is usually calculated as a percentage of the bill before tax. Customs differ widely between countries, as explained in this overview of gratuity around the world.

How to Use the Tip Calculator

Follow these five quick steps:

Step 1: Enter the Total Bill Amount

Type the amount on your receipt in the Total Bill Amount box, for example 2400.

Step 2: Choose the Tip Percentage

Tap a preset button such as 15%, or type your own percentage in the Tip Percentage box. The tip calculator accepts any value, including 0 if a service charge is already included.

Step 3: Enter the Number of People

Enter how many people are sharing the bill in Number of People (Split). Use 1 if you are paying alone.

Step 4: Click Calculate Split

Press Calculate Split. The tip calculator works out the tip and divides everything evenly.

Step 5: Read the Amount Each Person Pays

The big number is the Total Per Person to Pay. Below it you will see the Total Tip, the Tip Per Person and the Grand Total (Bill + Tip).

Tip Calculation Example

1. Bill: 2,400 for a dinner of 4 people.
2. Tip at 15%: 2,400 × 15 ÷ 100 = 360.
3. Grand total: 2,400 + 360 = 2,760.
4. Per person: 2,760 ÷ 4 = 690, of which 90 is tip.

Tip Chart for Common Bills

How Much Should You Tip?

There is no single rule, and expectations change from country to country. In the United States, 15% to 20% at sit-down restaurants is widely seen as standard. In the UK and much of Europe, many restaurants add a service charge, and around 10% is common when they do not. In Pakistan, India and the Gulf, 5% to 10% is a typical thank-you unless a service charge is already on the bill. Always check the receipt first, and use the tip calculator to apply whatever rate feels fair.

Quick Mental Tipping Tricks

• 10%: move the decimal point one place left. 10% of 1,850 = 185.
• 20%: double the 10% figure. 20% of 1,850 = 370.
• 15%: take 10% and add half of it. 185 + 92.50 = 277.50.
• Round up: rounding the total to a neat number makes cash payments easier.

Tipping Tips for Groups

• Tip on the pre-tax amount if you want the traditional method.
• Check for a service charge so you do not tip twice.
• Uneven orders: if one person ordered much more, split the bill first, then use the tip calculator for each share.
• Need a percentage for something else? Try our Percentage Calculator.
