About this calculator
This tip calculator splits a restaurant bill including the tip across any number of people. Enter the pre-tip bill amount, the tip percentage (15% standard, 18% good service, 20% excellent), and the party size. The calculator returns the total bill, the tip amount, and what each person owes if you're splitting evenly.
Common questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
15% is standard for adequate service, 18% for good, 20%+ for excellent. Below 15% sends a clear message about poor service. Coffee/counter service: $1 per drink or 10–15%. Bartender: $1–2 per drink.
Do I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Most people tip on the pre-tax total (and that's what this calculator uses). Tipping on post-tax adds about 6–10% to the tip depending on local sales tax — a small generosity if you want to round up.
Are large parties auto-tipped?
Many restaurants add an automatic 18% gratuity for parties of 6 or more — check the menu fine print or receipt. If auto-grat is added, you don't need to tip again unless service was exceptional.
