What's a typical tip percentage?

This varies widely by country and service type — commonly 15–20% for table service in the US, though norms differ elsewhere and for other services.

Does the split assume everyone owes the same amount?

Yes — it divides the total evenly. For itemized splitting where people pay only for what they ordered, use the Split Bill by Items tool instead.

Is it rude to tip less than 15-20%?

Norms vary a lot by country and context — this tool doesn't judge, it just does the math for whatever percentage you choose.

Should I tip on delivery fees or service charges already added to the bill?

That depends on local convention and whether the charge already goes to staff — check your receipt or ask, since double-tipping on an included service charge is a common point of confusion.

About the Tip Calculator

Splits a restaurant or service bill by a chosen tip percentage and number of people, showing the tip amount, total, and per-person share.

How to use it

Enter the Bill amount.
Enter the Tip (%).
Enter how many people to Split between.
Read the per-person amount, tip, and total in the result panel.

Formula

Tip = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100)
Per person = (Bill + Tip) ÷ Number of people

Worked example

An $84 bill with an 18% tip, split four ways: tip is about $15.10, total is $99.10, and each person pays roughly $24.80.

Recommendations

• For large groups, splitting evenly is simplest — for itemized orders, use Split Bill by Items instead.
• Some regions build service into the bill already — check before adding a full tip on top.
• Round the per-person amount up slightly if you're paying with cash to keep things simple.

Frequently asked questions

Conventions vary by country and situation — this tool applies the percentage to whatever amount you enter, so use pre-tax or post-tax depending on your preference.
