Tip and split, done in one step
Splitting a restaurant bill always lands on the same little bit of mental maths: add a tip,
then divide by everyone at the table. This calculator does both at once. Enter the bill,
choose a tip percentage, and set how many people are sharing — you'll instantly see the
grand total and the exact amount each person should chip in, tip included.
How much to tip
Tipping norms vary by country. In the US, 15–20% is typical for table service; in much of
Europe and Asia a small tip or none is expected because service is included. Use the slider
to match the occasion, and remember the percentage here applies to whatever bill amount you
enter — pre-tax subtotal or total, your call.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip?
In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for sit-down restaurant service, with 20%+ for great service. Many other countries tip less or not at all, so adjust the percentage to local custom. Move the tip slider to see the totals change instantly.
How do I split a bill evenly?
Add the tip to the bill, then divide by the number of people. This calculator does both at once and shows the exact amount each person owes, including their share of the tip.
Should I tip on the total or the pre-tax amount?
Either is fine — tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is technically correct, but many people tip on the total for simplicity. Enter whichever amount you want the tip calculated on.
Can I split a bill unevenly?
This tool splits evenly. For uneven splits, calculate each person’s items separately and add a proportional share of the tip to each.
