$64.80 total
Tip $10.80 · $21.60 each (tip $3.60)

Enter the bill and a tip percentage and this calculator shows the tip, the total, and — when you split it — what each person pays. A $54 bill at 20% adds a $10.80 tip for a $64.80 total; split three ways that's $21.60 each. Common percentages are one tap away, and the per-person figures round to the cent.

The formula

tip = bill × (percent ÷ 100); per person = (bill + tip) ÷ people

Multiply the bill by the tip rate as a decimal to get the tip, add it to the bill for the total, then divide by the headcount for each person's share.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Enter the bill

    Type the pre-tip amount from the check. Tax is usually left in the bill — tip on the pre-tax subtotal if you prefer, by entering that figure instead.

  2. 2

    Choose a tip percentage

    Pick a common rate like 15, 18, or 20%, or type your own. The tip and total update instantly.

  3. 3

    Split the bill

    Enter how many people are sharing and the calculator divides the total — and the tip — evenly per person.

Frequently asked questions

What is a standard tip percentage?
In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for table service, with 20% common for good service. Counter and takeout tips are usually lower or optional.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?
Either is accepted; tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is slightly more common. Enter whichever amount you want to tip on as the bill.
How does the split handle uneven cents?
Each share is rounded to the nearest cent, so the per-person figures may differ by a penny from the exact total when it doesn't divide evenly.
