Formula
Tip
Tip = Bill × (Tip% ÷ 100)
Total
Total = Bill + Tip
Per Person
Per Person = Total ÷ Number of People
Example Calculation
A dinner bill of $85.50 with a 20% tip split between 3 people:
Tip = $85.50 × 0.20 = $17.10
Total = $85.50 + $17.10 = $102.60
Per Person = $102.60 ÷ 3 = $34.20
Tip = $85.50 × 0.20 = $17.10
Total = $85.50 + $17.10 = $102.60
Per Person = $102.60 ÷ 3 = $34.20

Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip?
In the US, the standard tip for restaurant service is 15–20% of the pre-tax bill. For exceptional service, 20–25% is common. Counter service and takeout typically receive 0–10%. Tipping customs vary widely by country — in Japan, tipping is not expected, while in many European countries, a service charge is included.
Should I tip before or after tax?
Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax amount. However, many people tip on the total including tax. This calculator tips on whatever amount you enter — if you want to tip on the pre-tax amount, enter that amount as your bill.
How do I split the bill evenly?
Enter the total bill amount, select your tip percentage, and enter the number of people in the "Split Between" field. The calculator will show the per-person cost including tip.
What is a 20% tip on a $50 bill?
A 20% tip on $50 is $10.00, making the total $60.00. Quick mental math: 10% of $50 is $5, so double that for 20%.
