Example

A $48.50 bill split between 2 people at a 20% tip comes to $9.70 in tip, a $58.20 total, and $29.10 per person. Adjusting the tip percentage down to 15% for basic service or up to 25% for excellent service changes the total by a few dollars either way.

Frequently asked questions

What's a typical tip percentage in the US?

15% is often used for basic service, 18-20% is common for standard restaurant service, and above 20% is common for excellent service or larger groups where a service charge isn't already included.

Does this account for an already-included service charge?

No. Check your bill for an already-added service charge or gratuity before adding an additional tip on top, especially common for large groups at some restaurants.

How do I split a bill unevenly?

This calculator divides the total evenly across the number of people entered. For uneven splits where people ordered very differently, you may want to calculate individual subtotals separately before applying a tip.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Common practice varies, but many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal. Enter whichever bill amount matches your preferred convention.
