Free Tip Calculator (+ Guide)

What is a tip calculator?

A tip calculator works out a tip from a bill and a percent, then the total and each person's share. It's the quickest way to split a bill fairly.

How to use the tip calculator

You need the bill and the percent.

The table under the result shows every common percent for the same bill.

A worked example

Here's the example the calculator loads when you press Try an example: an $84.50 bill, a 20% tip, split 3 ways.

At 20%, the total is $101.40, or $33.80 each.

Tipping abroad

What's normal at home can be odd elsewhere.

Where service is included

In much of Europe and Asia, service is often in the bill already. A small round-up is enough.

In other currencies

Pick the local currency, and the currency converter shows the total in yours. The card fees abroad calculator shows what your card adds.

Mistakes to avoid

These are the slips that make a split unfair.

• Tipping on the total after tax when you meant before
• Splitting evenly when 1 person ordered much more
• Tipping twice when service is already included
• Rounding each share instead of the total
