How to work out a tip
A tip is a percentage of the bill. To find it, multiply the bill by the tip rate divided by 100, then add it on. Splitting is just dividing that grand total by the number of people.
The method
each = bill × (1 + tip% ÷ 100) ÷ people
Worked example
$60 bill · 18% tip · 2 people
tip = 60 × 0.18 = $10.80
total = 60 + 10.80 = $70.80
each = 70.80 ÷ 2 = $35.40
total = 60 + 10.80 = $70.80
each = 70.80 ÷ 2 = $35.40
How much should you tip?
Customs vary by country. In the United States, 18–20% is standard for table service, with 15% on the low side and 25% for something exceptional. In much of Europe a service charge is often already included, and a small round-up is plenty. The presets cover the common range; the custom field takes anything.
Tip on the total or before tax?
Both are done. Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically the "correct" convention, but many people simply tip on the total for ease. If it matters to you, enter the pre-tax subtotal as the bill. For the underlying maths, the percentage calculator covers every variation.
