About the Free Tip Calculator
Tipping math sounds trivial until you're doing it at a table with four other people, a bill that doesn't split evenly, and a phone calculator that can't remember what percentage you settled on. This calculator handles both halves of the problem at once: the tip amount and total for the whole bill, and — if you're splitting — exactly what each person owes, tip included.
It gets used at the actual moment of paying a check: settling up a group dinner, figuring out what a fair tip looks like for a delivery order, or just double-checking that 18% or 20% mental math before handing over a card.
The bill amount and who you're eating with are nobody's business but yours — the split and tip math happens entirely on your device, nothing about your dinner is sent anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
What's a standard tip percentage in the US?
For sit-down restaurant service, 15-20% is the typical range, with 18-20% common for good service. Delivery, bartenders, and other service situations often have their own separate norms.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax bill amount?
Etiquette guides generally recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, since sales tax isn't money the restaurant or server actually earned — though tipping on the post-tax total is common in practice and won't raise eyebrows.
How do I split a bill fairly when people ordered very different amounts?
An even split (what this calculator does) is simplest but not always fair if orders varied a lot — for an itemized split, add up each person's actual items first, then apply the tip percentage to each person's individual subtotal.
Is tipping expected outside the United States?
It varies enormously by country — some places include service in the bill by law or custom and tipping extra is unusual or even considered odd, while others follow US-style norms. It's worth checking local custom before assuming 18-20% applies everywhere.
Should I tip on takeout or counter-service orders?
There's no universal rule — many people tip a smaller percentage (or a flat few dollars) for takeout than for full table service, reflecting the lighter service involved, but it's a personal and increasingly debated choice rather than a fixed standard.
