- Enter the bill amount. If it includes tax, enter the tax too, and choose whether to tip on the bill before tax or the whole bill.
- Pick a tip (10%, 15%, 18%, 20% or 25%) or type your own.
- Set the number of people. Each person's share, the tip and the total show at once.
- Round up the total or each share if you'd rather pay whole amounts. The tip percentage updates to match.

Good to know
Why does one person pay a cent less?
A bill doesn't always divide evenly. $99.71 between three is $33.2366…, so two people pay $33.24 and one pays $33.23. That way the shares add up to the bill exactly, and nobody loses or gains a cent.
Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?
Many people tip on the amount before tax, since the tax isn't part of the service. Enter the tax included in your bill and choose Bill before tax; choose Whole bill to tip on everything.
How does rounding up work?
Total rounds the whole bill up to the next whole amount, then splits it. Each share rounds every person's share up, so everyone pays the same round number. The extra goes to the tip, and the effective tip percentage shows how much that is.
How much should I tip?
It depends on the country and the service. The quick picks are common amounts, not advice: in some places a service charge is already on the bill, and in others tipping isn't expected.
Does it work in my currency?
Yes. Choose your currency above the calculator. Currencies without cents, such as the Japanese yen, are split in whole units.
