Tip Calculator
Tip amount, total & split per person
Settle the check fast. Enter the bill, your tip percentage and the number of people to get the tip, total and each person's share.
How much to tip
In the US, 15–20% is standard for sit-down service (20% for good service). Tip on the pre-tax amount if you like. Splitting? Enter the party size for a clean per-person total.
Tipping by situation
Norms vary by service: 15–20% at restaurants, around 10% or a couple of dollars for counter and takeout (optional), 15–20% for taxis and ride-share, and a few dollars per bag or night for hotel staff. Large parties often have an automatic 18–20% gratuity already added — check the bill before tipping again.
The quick mental math
For a fast estimate, find 10% by moving the decimal one place left, then double it for 20% or add half again for 15%. On a $60 check, 10% is $6, so 20% is $12 and 15% is $9. This calculator does it precisely and splits the total evenly across your group.

Should I tip on tax?
Either is fine — tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is perfectly acceptable. Enter the amount you prefer to tip on.
Is it rude to tip 15%?
No — 15% remains an acceptable tip for standard table service in the US, with 18–20% reserved for good service. Tip less only when service was genuinely poor.
