About this calculator
A tip calculator computes the gratuity amount, total bill including tip, and per-person payment when splitting with a group. Tipping practices vary by country and service type, so it helps to calculate the amount before you pay.
Common restaurant tips are 15% in the US, 18% for good service, and 20% or more for excellent service. In India, a 10% tip is common in restaurants, and in the UK 10–12.5% is typical.
Common uses
- Calculate tip and split a restaurant bill among friends
- Determine the total cost including gratuity before paying
- Calculate the appropriate tip for delivery, valet, or hotel service
- Divide a shared bill into equal per-person amounts
Frequently asked questions
Should I tip before or after tax?
Traditionally, tip is calculated on the pre-tax amount. However, many people tip on the total including tax for simplicity, especially when using the double-tax method (tip ≈ double the tax amount in US states with ~8–9% sales tax, giving roughly 16–18% tip).
