Use this tool for a clear estimate
Restaurant bills are often shared and can include food, drinks, tax, or an automatic gratuity. This calculator makes it easier to see a tip, final bill, and equal share before you settle up.
Enter the amount you want to use as your starting total, then select a percentage or enter your own. The calculation is instant; the judgement behind the tip is always yours.
Things worth considering
There is no universal amount that fits every situation. Before choosing a tip, it can help to think about:
- Whether gratuity is already printed on the bill.
- The size of the group and quality of service.
- Local restaurant customs.
Make the final total easy to share
If more than one person is paying, use the split field above. It shows the tip per person and the full amount per person, so everyone can see the same calculation.
Frequently asked questions
Should I calculate a restaurant tip before or after tax?
Practices vary. Choose the bill amount you prefer to use, and check the receipt for an automatic gratuity before adding another tip.
Can I choose my own tip percentage?
Yes. Use the custom tip field for any percentage that suits the service and your circumstances.
Are calculator results exact?
The arithmetic is based on the figures you enter. Check the receipt and your entered amount before making a payment, especially where fees or taxes apply.
