Quick answer

A tip calculator works out how much to tip and the total bill, and can split it evenly between people. This one runs fully in your browser and updates instantly as you type, with one-tap presets from 10 to 30 percent plus a custom rate and a pre-tax option. For example, an 18 percent tip on a $50 bill is $50 x 0.18 = $9.00, making the total $59.00, or $14.75 each when split 4 ways.

Tipping Tips

Quick Mental Math for 20%

Move the decimal left one place to get 10%, then double it. $85 bill: $8.50 x 2 = $17 tip. For 15%, add half of 10% to 10%.

Large Party Gratuity

Parties of 6+ often have 18-20% gratuity added automatically. Always check your bill, the tip may already be included!

Cash vs Card Tips

Cash tips go directly to servers immediately. Card tips may take days to process and sometimes get split with other staff. Many servers prefer cash.

Minimum Tip for Delivery

Even for small orders under $15, tip at least $3-5 for delivery. Drivers spend time and gas regardless of order size.

Frequently Asked Questions

In the US, 15 to 20 percent of the bill is the standard tip for sit-down restaurants: 15 percent for adequate service, 18 to 20 percent for good service, and 25 percent or more for exceptional service. Counter service, coffee shops, and takeout are usually 10 to 15 percent. Enter your bill above and tap a preset to see the exact amount and total.
Multiply the bill by the tip percent divided by 100, then add that to the bill. For example, an 18 percent tip on a $50 bill is $50 x 0.18 = $9.00, so the total is $59.00. This calculator does the math the moment you type and can split the total between any number of people.
Add the tip to the bill first, then divide the total by the number of people. A $50 bill with an 18 percent tip comes to $59.00, which split 4 ways is $14.75 each. Use the split control above and each person's share, including their part of the tip, appears instantly.
Yes. In the US, 20 percent is a solid and generous tip for good sit-down service, and it is the most common default shown on card readers. 15 percent is acceptable for standard service, while 25 percent or more signals that the service was exceptional.
Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically more accurate because sales tax goes to the government, not your server. Many people tip on the post-tax total for simplicity, and the difference is usually small. Tick the 'Tip on pre-tax amount' option above to base the tip only on the bill, not the tax.
For DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub the standard is 15 to 20 percent of the order total, with a minimum of about $3 to $5 even on small orders. Tip toward the higher end for long distances, bad weather, large orders, or hard-to-reach addresses, since drivers cover their own gas and vehicle costs.
Find 10 percent by moving the decimal one place left, then adjust. On a $50 bill, 10 percent is $5, so 20 percent is $10 and 15 percent is $7.50 (10 percent plus half of it). For 18 percent, take the 20 percent figure and subtract a little. The calculator above removes the guesswork with an exact answer.
No. A service charge or automatic gratuity is added by the restaurant, often 18 to 20 percent for large parties of six or more, and it appears as a line on your bill. A tip is the voluntary amount you choose. If gratuity is already included you generally do not need to tip extra unless the service was outstanding.
Yes. Every calculation runs in your browser with JavaScript, so nothing you type is sent to a server and there is no sign-up. Once the page has loaded it keeps working with no connection, which makes it handy at a restaurant with weak signal.
