Tip Calculator

How to calculate Tip Calculator?

Calculate the tip as a percentage of the bill, add it to the bill for the total, then divide by the number of people to get each share.

Key formula: tip = bill_amount × (tip_percentage ÷ 100); total_with_tip = bill_amount + tip; amount_per_person = total_with_tip ÷ number_of_people

Using the Tip Calculator calculator: an example

Example values: bill = $120, tip = 18%, people = 3.

Step-by-step calculation:

1. Calculate tip: $120 × 0.18 = $21.60.
2. Total bill with tip: $120 + $21.60 = $141.60.
3. Divide by people: $141.60 ÷ 3 = $47.20 per person.
4. Round to cents if needed: $47.20 each.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I round the per-person amount?

Round to two decimal places (nearest cent) for currency; any remaining cents can be adjusted manually.

Can I enter a custom tip percentage?

Yes, use the slider or enter an exact percentage. Values between 0 and 100% are accepted.

Should I include tax when calculating tip?

Include tax in the bill amount if you want to tip on the total; alternatively tip on the pre-tax subtotal if that is your preference.

How do I split unevenly between people?

This calculator divides equally. For uneven splits, calculate each persons share separately or adjust individual amounts after computing the equal share.
