Tip Calculator: Calculate Tip & Split the Bill Instantly
Need to work out the tip and total before paying? Or split the bill between friends? The Tip Calculator gives you the tip amount, total (bill + tip), and per-person cost in seconds — with any tip percentage and any number of people.
What is a Tip Calculator?
A tip calculator works out how much to leave as a tip and the total amount to pay (bill + tip). You enter the bill amount and the tip percentage (e.g. 15%, 18%, 20%). Optionally, you can split the total between multiple people to see how much each person pays.
Common tip percentages in the US are 15% (basic service), 18% (good service), and 20% or more (excellent service). The Tooladex Tip Calculator supports presets (15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 25%) and any custom percentage, and updates instantly as you type.
Why Use a Tip Calculator?
Restaurants — Work out tip and total before paying. No mental math at the table.

Tip Formula
Tip Amount = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100)
Total = Bill + Tip Amount
Per Person = Total ÷ Number of People
Example: $60 bill, 20% tip → Tip $12, Total $72. Split 3 ways → $24 per person.
Examples
Example 1: 20% tip, no split
Bill $45.00, 20% tip → Tip $9.00, Total $54.00.
Example 2: 18% tip, split 4 ways
Bill $80.00, 18% tip → Tip $14.40, Total $94.40. Per person (4): $23.60.
Example 3: 15% tip
Bill $32.50, 15% tip → Tip $4.88, Total $37.38.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s a good tip percentage?
In the US, 15% is often minimum for basic service, 18% for good service, 20% or more for excellent. Customs vary by country — use any percentage you prefer.
Should I tip on tax?
Most people tip on the pre-tax bill. Use the subtotal (pre-tax) as the bill in the calculator if that’s your preference. You can also use the final total — the calculator works either way.
How do I split the bill evenly?
Enter the full bill amount, your tip percentage, and the number of people. The calculator shows the total (bill + tip) and divides it equally so each person pays the same.
Does this work with other currencies?
Yes. The math is the same. The calculator displays $ but you can treat the numbers as your local currency (£, €, etc.). Tip customs vary by country.
