How do I calculate a tip and split the bill?
Multiply the bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100 to get the tip, then add it to the bill. To split it, divide the total by the number of people. Enter the bill, choose 10, 15, 18, 20 or 25% or your own, add the number of people, and read the tip, the total and each share.
Formulas & Methods
Tip
Example: 100 × 20 ÷ 100 = 20
Per person
Example: (100 + 20) ÷ 4 = 30
Key features
Common percentages
One tap for 10%, 15%, 18%, 20% or 25%, or enter any percentage, including decimals.
Split the bill
Divide the total between any number of people, with each person’s share of the tip.
Rounding explained
When a split doesn’t divide exactly into cents, you’re told whether the rounded shares come to more or less than the total, and by how much.
Splitting a bill fairly
Decide first whether the tip goes on the amount before tax or on the total. On a small bill the difference is small, but it adds up: at 20%, the tip on 100 before a 10% tax is 20, and on the 110 total it is 22.
If the bill already includes a service charge, that is usually the tip, so check before adding more. When people ordered very different amounts, add up what each person had first, then run each share through the calculator with the same tip percentage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?
Customs vary. Many people tip on the amount before tax; enter whichever amount you want the tip based on.
How much should I tip?
It depends on the country and the service. In the US 15–20% is common in restaurants; in many other countries tipping is smaller or included.
Why don’t the shares add up exactly?
Money is rounded to the cent. 100 between 3 is 33.33 each, which adds up to 99.99, so one person pays a cent more. It can go the other way: 57.50 between 3 is 19.17 each, which adds up to 57.51, so one person can pay a cent less.
