Use this tool for a clear estimate
A percentage calculator is useful when you already know the rate you want to leave and simply need the dollar amount. It also makes comparing 15%, 20%, and a custom percentage quick.
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:
- The base amount you want to calculate from.
- Whether tax or a service charge is included.
- Whether you are splitting the payment with others.
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
How do I find 20 percent of a bill?
Enter the bill amount and select 20%. The calculator multiplies the bill by 0.20 and displays both the tip and final total.
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.
