Restaurant tip calculator: quick guide

This page is built for common searches like “tip calculator,” “how much to tip,” and “split restaurant bill.” Enter numbers once and read tip dollars, total with tip, and equal shares for groups.

  1. Type the bill amount. Use pre-tax or post-tax to match how you usually tip.
  2. Tap a tip percentage (10%, 15%, 18%, 20%) or open Custom for another rate.
  3. Set number of people when you want tip per person and total per person for an even split.

The summary updates as you change inputs so you can compare totals side by side before you pay.

Typical tip ranges (US dine-in)

Full-service dining often uses roughly 15%–20% on the meal portion when service is acceptable or better. Takeout and counter service vary by city and venue; some guests leave a smaller percentage or round up on large orders.

Browser-only math

Totals are computed locally in your device. That keeps bill figures off our servers while you adjust percentages or party size.
