Tip math in plain words

Tip amount = Bill × (Tip ÷ 100). Total = Bill + Tip amount. Per person = Total ÷ Number of people.

Solved example: a $50 bill, 20% tip, 2 people

Two friends share a $50 dinner bill and want to leave a 20% tip. Here is the math, step by step. Step 1: find the tip. $50 × (20 ÷ 100) = $10. Step 2: add it to the bill. $50 + $10 = $60. Step 3: split it. $60 ÷ 2 = $30. The tip is $10, the total is $60, and each person pays $30.

  1. Type the bill amount in dollars into the first box.

What this tool does not do

This is a general tip calculator, not financial advice. It does not split sales tax or extra fees on separate lines, and it divides the total evenly instead of tracking who ordered what. Results round to the nearest cent.

Frequently asked questions

How does this tip calculator for restaurants split the bill?

Type the full bill, the tip percent you want to leave, and how many people are splitting. The tool adds the tip to the bill and divides the total evenly, so everyone pays the same share.

What tip percent should I leave at a restaurant?

In the US, 15–20% is the usual range for good service at sit-down restaurants, and more for outstanding service. The tool works with any percent you type, so the choice stays yours.

Should I tip on the bill before or after tax?

Most diners tip on the pre-tax amount. This tool uses the bill number you type, so type the pre-tax subtotal if you want to follow that custom.

What if one person ordered much more than the rest?

An even split works best when everyone ordered about the same. For very uneven orders, run each person’s share through the tool separately with 1 person.
