Tip Calculator

A tip calculator is a simple tool that helps you determine the appropriate gratuity to leave at a restaurant, bar, salon, or any service establishment. Tipping is a customary practice in many countries, particularly in the United States, where service workers rely on tips as a significant part of their income.

Our free online tip calculator instantly computes the tip amount based on your bill total and desired tip percentage. It also supports splitting the bill between multiple people, making it perfect for group dining situations.

Whether you're dining out, getting a haircut, or taking a taxi, knowing how much to tip can sometimes be confusing. Standard tipping rates vary by country and service type, but in the US, 15-20% is generally considered appropriate for restaurant dining. This calculator takes the guesswork out of the equation and helps you tip accurately every time.

1. Enter your bill amount — Type the total bill before tip in the Bill Amount field.
2. Select a tip percentage — Choose from common presets (15%, 18%, 20%, 25%) or enter a custom percentage.
3. Split the bill (optional) — If you're dining with others, increase the number of people to see the per-person amount.
4. View results instantly — The tip amount, total, and per-person cost update in real time as you type.

The tip calculation uses a straightforward formula:

Tip Amount = Bill Amount × (Tip Percentage ÷ 100)

Total = Bill Amount + Tip Amount

Per Person = Total ÷ Number of People

For example, a $50 bill with an 18% tip: $50 × 0.18 = $9.00 tip. Total = $59.00. Split between 2 people = $29.50 each.
