Use this tool for a clear estimate
Use this waiter tip calculator to turn a restaurant bill into a tip amount, complete total, and per-person share. It is especially useful when the table is splitting a meal.
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 service and attentiveness you experienced.
- Whether a gratuity is already on the receipt.
- How the group wants to divide the bill.
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.
