Frequently asked questions
What's a standard tip percentage?
In the US, 15–20% is typical for sit-down service; some people tip more for excellent service.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?
Etiquette guides generally say tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but most people just tip on the total shown on the receipt - the difference is usually small enough not to matter.
How do I split a tip evenly among a group?
Add the tip to the bill first, then divide the total by the number of people - this calculator does that automatically once you enter the number of people, so everyone pays an equal share of both the bill and the tip.
How do I calculate a tip for a large group with a mandatory service charge?
Check your receipt first - many restaurants automatically add an 18-20% gratuity for groups above a certain size, which replaces rather than adds to a separate tip. If no service charge is listed, calculate the tip normally on the pre-tax subtotal and split it evenly among the group.
How do I calculate an 18% tip on a $64 bill?
Multiply the bill by 0.18: $64 × 0.18 = $11.52 tip, for a total of $75.52 - this calculator does that multiplication automatically once you enter the bill and tip percentage.
Does splitting the bill change the tip percentage each person pays?
No - splitting just divides the same total tip and bill evenly across the number of people, so everyone effectively contributes the same tip percentage; it doesn't change the overall 15-20% (or whatever rate you set) applied to the full bill.
Is a 'bill splitter' the same as a tip calculator?
They overlap - a pure bill splitter only divides a total among people, while a tip calculator like this one also computes the tip amount first and then splits the combined bill-plus-tip total evenly.
