To calculate a tip, multiply the bill by the tip percentage: a 20% tip on an $86.40 bill is $17.28. This free tip calculator does that math for you, lets you tip on the pre-tax bill or the bill including tax, rounds up if you like, and splits the final total between any number of people to the exact cent.

Enter a bill amount to see the tip, total, and per-person share.
Type the bill amount before tax, then the tax from your receipt. Leave tax blank if there is none.
Pick whether to tip on the pre-tax bill or on the bill including tax.
Tap 15%, 18%, or 20%, or choose Custom and enter any rate from 0% to 100%.
Enter how many people are splitting the bill and whether to round the tip or the total up to a whole dollar.
Review the tip, final total, and per-person share, then copy or download a plain-text summary.
Tip = tip basis x tip percentage, rounded half up to the nearest cent. The tip basis is the bill before tax, or the bill plus tax if you choose to tip on the total. Final total = bill + tax + tip.
Round tip up raises the tip to the next whole dollar. Round total up raises the tip just enough to make the final total a whole dollar. Neither option changes an amount that is already a whole dollar, and neither ever lowers the tip.
Per person = final total / party size. Leftover cents go to some guests one cent at a time, so the shares always add up to the exact total.
In the United States, 15% to 20% of the bill is standard for table service. 18% is a common middle ground, 20% or more rewards great service, and many restaurants add an automatic 18% to 20% gratuity for large parties.
Etiquette guides traditionally base the tip on the pre-tax bill, since tax is not part of the service. Tipping on the total including tax is a slightly more generous choice. This calculator lets you pick either and shows the tip basis it used.
Move the decimal point one place left to get 10%, then double it. On an $86.40 bill, 10% is $8.64, so a 20% tip is $17.28. For 15%, add half of the 10% amount to itself.
Rounding only goes up. Round tip up raises the tip to the next whole dollar. Round total up raises the tip just enough to make the final total a whole dollar. Amounts that are already whole dollars do not change.
The final total is divided by the party size in cents. When it does not divide evenly, the leftover cents are assigned one each to some guests, so every share adds up to exactly the final total.
