About Tip Calculator

Tip Calculator works out the tax, tip and total for a bill and splits it between any number of people. You can tip on the amount before or after tax, pick a standard or custom percentage, and round the total up or to the nearest whole amount, with any leftover cents shared fairly.

Splitting a restaurant bill evenly rarely produces round numbers, and rounding by eye can leave someone paying more than their share. Exact cent-level arithmetic shows exactly what each person owes and what the rounding did to the tip.

How to use

Step by step

  1. Enter the bill amount before tax.
  2. Add the tax percentage if your bill shows tax separately.
  3. Choose a tip percentage or enter a custom one, and whether it applies before or after tax.
  4. Set the number of people and a rounding option.
  5. Press Calculate tip, then copy or download the summary.

FAQ

Common questions

You choose. “Before tax” is the common custom in many countries and is the default; “after tax” calculates the tip on the bill plus tax.
“Round total up” raises the total to the next whole amount (for example 47.20 becomes 48.00). “Round to nearest” goes to the closest whole amount, half up. The difference is added to or taken from the tip, so the bill and tax never change. If rounding to the nearest would make the tip negative, the total is rounded up instead and the tool tells you.
Amounts are kept in whole cents. If the total cannot be divided equally, everyone pays the same base share and the leftover cents are spread one each across some people, so no one pays more than one cent extra. The result says exactly how many people pay the extra cent.
No. It only changes the symbol shown. Every calculation is identical whichever symbol you choose.
Yes. Choose Custom and enter any percentage from 0 to 100 with up to three decimal places.
A bill above 0 and up to 100,000,000 with at most two decimal places, tax and tip from 0 to 100%, and 1 to 1,000 people. Negative and malformed values are rejected with a message.
