How to calculate a tip
Multiply the bill amount by the selected tip percentage and divide by 100. Add the resulting tip to the original bill to calculate the final total.
Tip calculation example
For an 80 bill with a 20% tip, the tip is 16. The final total is 96. If two people split the bill equally, each person pays 48.
How to split a restaurant bill
First calculate the total bill after adding the tip. Then divide that total by the number of people paying. This gives an equal per-person amount.
Typical tipping percentages vary between countries, cities and types of service. Enter the percentage that is appropriate for your situation.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a 20% tip?
Multiply the bill by 0.20. For example, a 20% tip on 50 is 10.
How do I calculate a tip quickly?
For 10%, move the decimal point one place to the left. Double that amount for an approximate 20% tip.
Does the calculator split the tip too?
Yes. The per-person result divides the complete bill, including tip, by the number of people entered.
Can I enter any tip percentage?
Yes. You can enter a custom percentage rather than using a fixed preset.
