Is the tip calculated on pre-tax or post-tax bill?

This tool applies your tip percentage to the bill amount you enter. If your local norm is to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, type that subtotal instead of the check total.

How does splitting work?

The bill and tip are combined into one total, then divided evenly across the number of people. Each person’s share includes their portion of the tip.

Why offer 15%, 18%, 20% shortcuts?

Tips, totals, and team meals

Tipping norms differ by country and setting. In places where service staff rely on gratuities, the percentage you choose directly affects take-home pay. Splitting evenly assumes everyone ordered similarly; itemized splits need separate math. This calculator keeps things transparent: you see the tip, the grand total, and what each person owes if you divide equally.

For business meals you might later expense, note the receipt and policy on tips. Unrelated to dining but handy for billing math, try the discount calculator or invoice total calculator for client-facing work.
