Calculate the tip amount, total bill, and how much each person owes when splitting a restaurant check.
Tip Calculation:
Tip = Bill x Tip%
Total = Bill + Tip
Per Person = Total / Number of People
In the US, the standard tip for restaurant service is 15-20% of the pre-tax bill. For exceptional service, 25% or more is appropriate. For counter service or takeout, 10-15% is common.
Tipping on the pre-tax (subtotal) amount is the traditional standard, but most people tip on the post-tax total for simplicity. The difference is small for typical tax rates.
For 20%: move the decimal one place left (10%), then double it. For 15%: calculate 10% and add half. Example: $45 bill -> 10% = $4.50 -> 20% = $9.00 tip.
For food delivery, 15-20% of the order total is standard, with a minimum of $3-5. For large orders or difficult delivery conditions (bad weather, stairs), tipping 20%+ is appreciated.
Yes, each person should tip on their share of the bill. Use this calculator to find the tip per person, which makes it easy to ensure everyone contributes their fair share.
Restaurant servers, bartenders, hairdressers, taxi/rideshare drivers, hotel staff, delivery drivers, spa/massage therapists, and tour guides commonly receive tips in the US.
