How do you calculate a tip on a restaurant bill?

Multiply the bill by your tip rate as a decimal. Example: 18% on $75 is 75 x 0.18 = $13.50 tip. The total with tip is $88.50. This tool computes tip, total, and per-person amounts when you split the check.

What is a normal tip percentage in the United States?

Many diners use 15%-20% for full-service meals when service is standard to good. Strong service often lands at 20% or higher. Quick-service or counter pickup may use a smaller percentage or none, depending on local norms.

Should you tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?

Etiquette guides often suggest tipping on the pre-tax subtotal. Many people tip on the amount shown after tax for simplicity. Pick one approach and stay consistent; the dollar difference is usually small unless tax is high or the bill is large.

How does splitting the bill work in this tip calculator?

Enter how many people share the check. The calculator divides the bill plus tip equally so each person pays the same total. It shows tip per person and combined total per person.

Is this tip calculator private?

Yes. Math runs in your browser with JavaScript. Bill amounts and splits are not uploaded to our servers as part of the calculation.

Can I use a custom tip percentage?

Yes. Choose Custom and type any whole-number percentage. The summary updates with that rate alongside preset buttons like 10%, 15%, 18%, and 20%.

Does the calculator work on phones?

Yes. The layout is responsive. Use it at the table on a phone or tablet to figure tip and split totals quickly.
