Tip Calculator
Enter the bill amount, a tip percentage, and the number of people to see the tip, the total, and the per-person share — handy for restaurants, bars, and group outings.
Quick answer: A 15–20% tip is standard for U.S. sit-down service; on a $60 bill that's $9–$12, for a $69–$72 total.
How it works
1. Enter the bill and tip percent
Start with the pre-tax bill total and choose a tip percentage. Common ranges are 15% for standard service, 18% to 20% for good service, and more for exceptional service. Tipping on the pre-tax amount is customary, though many people tip on the total for simplicity.
2. Calculate the tip amount
The calculator multiplies the bill by the tip percentage to get the tip in dollars, then adds it to the bill for the grand total. For example, 18% on a $60 bill is $10.80, for a $70.80 total. You can round up for easy payment.
3. Split the check
Enter the number of people to divide the total — or just the tip — evenly across the table. The calculator shows the per-person amount so no one has to do mental math. Uneven splits can be handled by adjusting each share.
