How it works

Type the bill amount, set the tip percent with the slider or box, and set how many people are splitting. The tool shows the tip amount, the grand total and the per-person share live as you type.

Formula and source

Tip = bill × tip{59add7fb9b5d0f955f9dd8a5cff6b03cde82e94736be1fc54182c61af6d738ce} ÷ 100. Total = bill + tip. Each pays total ÷ people. Plain arithmetic — tipping customs (often 15–20{59add7fb9b5d0f955f9dd8a5cff6b03cde82e94736be1fc54182c61af6d738ce} in the US) vary by country, so check local norms. Last verified 2026-10-09.

Common mistakes

  • Tipping on the after-tax total when you meant pre-tax — pick one and stay consistent.
  • Forgetting that one person's extra drink should be settled before splitting evenly.
  • Rounding each share down: round up or the bill comes up short.

Tips

  • Agree the tip percent before anyone pays.
  • For uneven orders, subtract personal extras first, then split the rest.
