Enter the bill amount above and we'll do the maths.
Enter your restaurant bill total, select a tip percentage (or type a custom one), and enter the number of people splitting the bill. Hit Calculate Split and you'll instantly see the total per person, the tip amount, and the overall bill total.
In the United States, standard tipping norms for sit-down restaurants run from 15% for average service up to 20–25% for excellent service. In many other countries, tipping is either not expected or much lower — so context matters.
For counter service, coffee shops, and takeout orders, 10–15% is the common range, and tipping is increasingly optional depending on the situation. Use what you think is fair for the service received.
This calculator splits the bill evenly. If people ordered different amounts or some guests are paying differently, the cleanest approach is still to calculate the tip on the total and then divide it evenly — the maths difference is usually negligible, and it prevents the awkward per-item accounting that slows things down.
Technically, tips are calculated on the pre-tax amount. In practice, most people tip on the post-tax total because it's simpler. On a typical restaurant bill, the difference is a dollar or two — not worth the mental overhead.
