Free Tip Calculator Online
Working out the tip and splitting the bill at the end of a meal sounds simple until five people are squinting at a phone, doing maths in their heads, and somebody insists on tipping on the pre-tax amount while somebody else just wants to round up. Our free online tip calculator settles all of it in two seconds. Type in the bill, tap the percentage you want — preset buttons for the standard ranges (10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%) or any custom value — and the tip, total, and per-person share appear instantly. Bump the people-count up or down with one click to handle when an extra person joins or leaves the table. There is also a tax-aware mode for the pre-tax-versus-post-tax debate: in the US the polite convention is to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but most people just tip on the total because it is faster — the calculator supports both. Common situations people use it for: working out the right tip for a restaurant in a country where you are not sure of the local custom, splitting a group dinner bill evenly when one of the diners had less or more than the others, calculating delivery driver tips on rideshare or food-delivery apps, working out service-charge percentages on hotel and spa bills, and quickly checking whether a "service included" line on a European bill means another tip is expected (usually no). The arithmetic handles the awkward edge case where dividing the total by the number of people leaves leftover cents — the per-person share is rounded up so the group never undertips, with leftover pennies going to the first share. Everything runs in your browser, no data is sent anywhere, and there is no sign-up. Pair this with our [Percentage Calculator](/tools/percentage-calculator) for arbitrary percentage maths, the [GST Calculator](/tools/gst-calculator) for figuring out the tax portion of a bill, and the [Currency Converter](/tools/currency-converter) for tipping abroad.
