How to use this calculator

Enter the pre-tax bill amount unless your local custom is to tip on the after-tax total.

Choose a tip percentage. 18% to 20% is common in the United States for table service.

Split the final total by the number of people in your party to see what each person owes.

Tipping customs vary by country, venue, and service quality. This calculator assumes a voluntary gratuity added to a subtotal you provide, which matches common U.S. restaurant practice but may differ where service charges are included automatically.

If your check already includes a suggested gratuity for large parties, subtract that amount before calculating an additional tip, or enter the combined total you intend to pay so you do not double count.

Splitting evenly is simplest for groups sharing similar orders. When one person ordered significantly more, consider adjusting individual shares outside this equal-split model.

Round up the per-person total if you prefer clean cash payments. Small rounding differences are normal and often appreciated by service staff when they simplify settling the bill at the table.

FAQ

Should I tip before or after tax?

Either approach is common. Many diners tip on the pre-tax subtotal, while some tip on the full check including tax.

Does this include shared appetizers?

Enter the full bill everyone is splitting. The per-person result assumes equal shares.

Can I use this for delivery fees?

Yes, but delivery platform fees and driver tips may follow different conventions than restaurant table service.
