Tip Calculator

Calculate the tip amount and split the total bill evenly between any number of people.

Splitting the bill at a restaurant shouldn't require a math degree. This tip calculator instantly computes the tip amount, total bill, and each person's share when splitting evenly among your group.

In the United States, customary tip rates are 15% for adequate service, 18-20% for good service, and 20-25% for exceptional service. Some restaurants include a mandatory gratuity of 18-20% for large parties (typically 6 or more guests).

Tipping customs vary worldwide. In many European countries, a service charge is included and additional tips of 5-10% are appreciated but not expected. In Japan and South Korea, tipping is generally not customary and can even be considered rude.

A quick mental math trick for calculating tips: to figure 20%, move the decimal point one place left (that's 10%) and double it. For 15%, calculate 10% and add half of that amount. This calculator handles the math precisely, including splitting among any number of diners.
