How this is calculated
- Step 1
The base
The amount you want the tip calculated on.
- Step 2
The tip
That amount times the percent.
- Step 3
The split
Bill plus tip, divided by the number of people.
Tip and equal split
tip = bill × percent ÷ 100; each = (bill + tip) ÷ people
| bill | The amount you are tipping on. Pre-tax or post-tax is your choice. |
|---|---|
| percent | Tip rate. Zero is allowed. |
| people | How many equal shares. A whole number, at least 1. |
We do not remove tax from a total, because the tax rate is not on the form. If you tip on the subtotal, enter the subtotal. When the check lists food and tax separately, use the split the bill calculator.
Shares are equal down to the cent shown. A till that cannot charge a fraction of a cent may put the spare cent on one person.
The percent itself is the apply mode of the percentage calculator. This page adds the split.

Should the bill be pre-tax or post-tax?
Enter whichever amount you want the tip based on. If you tip before tax, enter the subtotal. The tool cannot infer a tax rate from a single total. Food, tax, and tip as three lines belong on split the bill.
How is the split rounded?
Each share is the total divided by the number of people, shown to the cent (or to the yen, if that currency is selected). Equal shares can leave a spare cent at a real till.
Can the tip be 0%, or something that is not a preset?
Yes. Zero leaves the total equal to the bill. The preset buttons only fill the field. Type any percent.
Does the currency convert the bill?
No. The currency control changes the symbol and, for rupees, the grouping. 86 dollars and 86 euros are the same math.
