Features

Applies the percentage to the subtotal, adds it for the total, and divides evenly across the party — with quick 10/15/18/20/25% buttons for one-tap tipping.

Benefits & Use Cases

Diners split restaurant bills fairly, travelers adapt to local tipping customs, and groups avoid the awkward “who owes what” math.

Tips

Tip on the pre-tax subtotal, which is the custom in the US — the tool uses the bill amount you enter, so exclude tax if you want to be precise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I tip?

15–20% is standard for US table service; 10% for buffets, 20%+ for exceptional service.

Do I tip on tax?

Custom says tip on the pre-tax subtotal — enter the bill without tax for the textbook answer.

How is the split calculated?

Total ÷ people, shown per person alongside each person’s share of the tip.

What about tip jars and takeout?

Optional — many tip 10% or round up for takeout; there’s no strict rule.
