How to calculate a tip and split a bill
Whether you're eating out, ordering delivery, or leaving a gratuity for a service, a tip calculator helps you get the arithmetic right without slowing down the moment.
For example, an $86.50 bill with an 18% tip:
Your total is $102.07. If two people split it, the exact mathematical share is $51.035 each. Because US currency uses cents, one person can pay $51.04 and the other $51.03 to add up exactly.
Should I tip before or after tax?
Practices vary. Many people calculate a tip on the pre-tax subtotal, while others tip on the final bill. This tool uses the bill amount you enter, so you can choose the basis that fits your preference.
How bill splitting handles pennies
Sometimes a total cannot be divided evenly into whole cents. We show a rounded per-person reference and a note explaining how many people should pay one extra cent to make the combined payments match the bill exactly.
Frequently asked questions
What percentage should I tip?
There isn't one universal percentage for every situation. In US sit-down restaurants, 15–20% is a commonly discussed range; expectations vary by service type and context. Pick a percentage that works for you.
Does the tool include sales tax?
It does not add a separate tax. Enter either a pre-tax subtotal or an after-tax bill, depending on which amount you want to calculate the tip from.
Can I split the bill among more than two people?
Yes. Enter any whole number of people from 1 to 100. The calculator shows the approximate share and handles any one-cent rounding differences.
