Use 1 for a single payer, or a whole number when splitting evenly.

Optional tax shown on the check. Choose below whether the tip is based on pre-tax or post-tax amount.

Optional included charge that is added to the final total. Check whether it already covers gratuity.

How it works

The calculator multiplies the selected tip basis by your tip percentage, adds optional tax and service charges, then divides the final total by the number of people splitting the bill.

Tip = tip basis × tip percentage

Use pre-tax mode when you only want to tip on the food or service subtotal. Use post-tax mode when your local custom or receipt check uses the taxed amount. Optional rounding adjusts the tip, total, or per-person share after the initial estimate.

Question

Assumptions and limitations

This tool estimates an even split from the numbers you enter. It does not decide local tipping customs, tax rules, service-charge policies, or whether a restaurant fee already includes gratuity.

Use the result as a planning aid or receipt check only. It is not financial, tax, legal, payroll, or accounting advice.

All calculations happen locally in your browser. Your bill amount, tip rate, and split details are not sent to a server.
