Restaurant Tip Calculator

Our tip calculator helps you quickly estimate gratuity from a selected percentage and add it to your bill. It also calculates how much each person would pay when the bill is split.

This tip calculator can be used as a restaurant tip calculator, gratuity calculator, tip percentage calculator, or split bill calculator. Simply enter the bill amount, tip percentage, and number of people.

For example, if your restaurant bill is $100 and you select a 20% tip, the estimated tip is $20 and the total bill is $120. If two people split the bill evenly, each person would pay $60.

How the Tip Calculator Works

The calculation is simple. First, the calculator converts the selected tip percentage into a decimal and multiplies it by the bill amount.

The tip amount is then added to the original bill to determine the estimated total.

When multiple people are splitting the bill evenly, the total is divided by the number of people.

This tip calculator uses these basic formulas to give you a quick estimate without requiring manual calculations.

How Much Should You Tip?

The appropriate tip amount can depend on the type of service, location, service quality, personal preference, and whether a service charge has already been included.

Common percentages such as 15%, 18%, 20%, and 25% can be compared using this tip calculator. The calculator itself does not recommend a particular percentage; it simply calculates the amount based on the percentage you enter.

Tip Calculator for Splitting a Restaurant Bill

Splitting a restaurant bill becomes easier when several people are sharing the same payment. Enter the full bill, choose the tip percentage, and then enter the number of people.

The tip calculator will show the estimated total and the amount each person would pay if the total is divided evenly.

Tip Percentage Examples

The table below shows simple examples using a $100 bill.

• 10% tip on $100 = $10 tip and $110 total.
• 15% tip on $100 = $15 tip and $115 total.
• 18% tip on $100 = $18 tip and $118 total.
• 20% tip on $100 = $20 tip and $120 total.
• 25% tip on $100 = $25 tip and $125 total.

You can enter any percentage into the calculator to create a customized estimate for your own bill.

Tip Calculator With Tax

This version of the calculator does not have a separate sales-tax input. If you want to calculate a tip based on a bill that already includes tax, enter the amount you want to use as the Bill Amount.

If you need a separate sales-tax calculation, you can use the Sales Tax Calculator on DollarSenseUSA.

Tip Calculator for Different Services

Although commonly used at restaurants, a tip calculator can also help estimate gratuity for other services where tipping may apply.

• Restaurant and dining bills
• Food delivery
• Salon and beauty services
• Taxi and transportation services
• Hotel and hospitality services
• Other service-based transactions

Actual tipping practices can vary, so use the percentage that fits your specific situation.

Tip vs. Service Charge

A voluntary tip and a mandatory service charge are not necessarily the same thing. Before adding a tip, check your bill to see whether a service charge, gratuity, or other fee has already been included.

This tip calculator only calculates the gratuity percentage you enter. It does not determine whether a restaurant or service provider has already added a mandatory charge.

Why Use a Tip Calculator?

• Calculate gratuity quickly.
• Compare different tip percentages.
• Calculate the final bill after adding a tip.
• Split a bill evenly between multiple people.
• See the tip amount per person.
• Reduce the need for manual calculations.
