Quick Tool Overview

The Tip Calculator works out the tip, the total to pay and the per-person share, all updating as you slide the percentage. A rounding control handles the awkward part of splitting a bill in person, and you can tip on the pre-tax amount when that is the local convention.

About the Tip Calculator

Enter the bill, pick a tip percentage and set how many people are sharing it. You get the tip amount, the total to pay, and the per-person share, all updating as you slide the percentage.

A rounding control handles the awkward part of splitting a bill in person. Round the total to the nearest whole unit and the per-person figure becomes a number people can actually hand over in cash, with the calculator showing the adjusted tip percentage that results. There is also an option to tip on the pre-tax amount rather than the total, which is the convention in places where sales tax is added at the till.

Key features of the Tip Calculator

Live percentage slider

Every figure updates as you move the tip percentage, so you can settle on a total rather than a rate.

Split any number of ways

The per-person share is calculated for any group size, not just two or four.

Rounding that works in cash

Round the total to a whole unit and the per-person figure becomes a number people can actually hand over, with the resulting tip percentage shown.

Tip before or after tax

Tip on the pre-tax amount where sales tax is added at the till, which is the convention in much of the US.
