What is Tip Calculator?
A tip calculator helps you quickly determine the tip amount on a restaurant bill and split the total cost equally among multiple people. Enter the bill total, select or type a tip percentage, and set the number of people in your group — the tool instantly shows the tip amount, total bill with tip, and the amount each person owes.
Tipping conventions vary widely by country, service type, and personal preference. In the US, 15-20% is standard for restaurant service, with 18-20% being common at sit-down restaurants. In many European countries tipping is less expected or a smaller rounded amount is the norm. Regardless of convention, this tool calculates the exact figures for whatever percentage you choose.
All calculations run locally in your browser with no data sent anywhere. The tip percentage can be set to any value — use the preset buttons for common percentages or type a custom amount.
