Figure the tip and split the total evenly across the table.
A tip and bill split calculator adds a gratuity to a restaurant bill and divides the total evenly among your group, no mental math at the table. Enter the bill, choose a tip percentage, and set the number of people.
In the U.S., sit-down restaurant tips are commonly around 15% to 20% of the pre-tax bill, with 18% to 20% typical for good service; many people round up for simplicity. Customs vary widely by country and service type, some places include service automatically, and tipping norms are lower or absent elsewhere. The calculator lets you set any percentage, so it works wherever you are.
Etiquette guides generally suggest tipping on the pre-tax amount, though tipping on the total is common and only a small difference. For splitting, an even divide is simplest when everyone shared roughly equally; if orders differed a lot, splitting by what each person ordered (then adding each share of tip and tax proportionally) is fairer. This tool handles the fast, even split and shows the per-person total including tip.
In the U.S., 15-20% of the pre-tax bill is typical for restaurant service, with 18-20% for good service. Norms vary by country, set any percentage above.
Etiquette generally suggests pre-tax, but tipping on the total is common and the difference is small. The calculator lets you enter the base you prefer.
Add the tip to the bill, then divide by the number of people. The calculator shows each person's share including tip in one step.
