Calculating a Tip and Total
A tip percentage is applied to a chosen base amount, usually the bill subtotal. Multiply the bill by the tip rate to find the tip, then add it to the bill for the final total. For a 60 bill with an 18% tip, the tip is 10.80 and the combined amount is 70.80.
Splitting the Bill
When sharing a bill, decide whether the tip is calculated before or after taxes and other fees, then divide the final amount by the number of people if an equal split is desired. Individual orders may make a proportional split more appropriate.
Tipping customs vary by country, venue, and service type. The calculator does not prescribe a percentage; it simply applies the value you enter. Check whether a service charge or gratuity has already been included so you do not unintentionally add it twice.
Tip Calculation Formula
The basic tip formula is tip = bill amount × tip rate ÷ 100. The total bill is the original bill plus the tip. When splitting a bill evenly, divide that total by the number of people.
Before-Tax vs. After-Tax Tips
Some people calculate a tip from the pre-tax subtotal, while others use the final amount after tax. The calculator applies the percentage to the bill amount you enter, so enter the subtotal or final bill according to the convention you want to use.
Service Charges and Bill Splitting
Check whether a restaurant has already added a service charge or gratuity before adding another tip. For group bills, equal splitting is simple, but individual shares may differ when people ordered different items or when only some charges should be shared.
