How the tip and split are calculated

The tip is your bill multiplied by the tip percentage. If you choose to tip on the after-tax amount, sales tax is added to the bill before the tip is applied. The grand total is bill + sales tax + tip, and the per-person amount is that total divided by the number of people. Sales tax is optional — leave it at 0 to ignore it.

Frequently asked questions

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is widely considered fair since tax is not part of the service. Tipping on the post-tax total is also common and slightly more generous. This calculator supports both; pre-tax is the default.

What is a normal tip in 2026?

For full-service restaurants in the US, 15 to 20 percent is the usual range, with 18 to 20 percent seen as generous for good service. Counter service, delivery, and other situations follow different norms.

How do I split unevenly?

This tool splits the grand total evenly. For an uneven split, work out each person's share of the bill first, then apply the same tip and tax percentages to each share.
