What is the Tip Calculator?
A tip calculator is a free online tool that computes the gratuity amount for any bill total and splits the final payment equally between any number of diners. Enter the bill amount, select a tip percentage (or enter a custom %) and choose how many people are splitting — the calculator instantly shows the tip amount, each person's share of the tip and the total amount each person owes.
Why people use this calculator
Calculating and splitting a tip at a restaurant or after a shared service can get awkward. Our tip calculator removes the mental arithmetic, making it fast and fair for any group size from 1 to 20+ people.
How to use the Tip Calculator — summary
- Enter the bill amount: Type the total bill before tip. Use the currency format your country uses — commas and decimal points are both accepted.
- Select a tip percentage: Click a quick-select button (5%, 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%) or enter a custom percentage in the input field.
- Enter the number of people: Type how many people are sharing the bill. For a solo tip, leave it at 1.
- Read your results: See the total tip amount, your share of the tip, the total per person (bill share + tip share) and the grand total.
Tips for best results
Double-check classroom or exam problems with a second method when precision matters. Cross-check loan or investment figures with your bank's official schedule — small rounding differences are normal between calculators.
