Important assumptions
Actual payments may need a few cents of adjustment when totals do not divide evenly.
How to use your results
The same proportion of bill and tip is assigned to each diner. Enter a different bill amount if you prefer tipping before sales tax.
Start with the example values, then replace them with amounts for the same transaction or time period. Double-check rates and units. The results are estimates intended to help you explore possible outcomes, not financial or tax advice.
Deciding what amount to tip on
Some diners tip on the subtotal before sales tax, while others use the final bill. This tool applies the entered percentage to whichever number you provide. Check the receipt for automatic gratuities before adding another tip.
Splitting an uneven bill
The per-person result assumes everyone shares the bill and gratuity equally. If people ordered different items, compute the total tip first, then distribute the meal costs and tip however your group agrees.
Why might the per-person amounts be off by a cent?
When a total does not divide evenly, a few diners may need to pay one cent more or less so the shares add up exactly.
How to calculate tip
Tip = bill × tip percentage ÷ 100; share = total ÷ people
