Questions

How do I calculate a tip?

Multiply the bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100. A 15% tip on 84.50 is 84.50 × 15 ÷ 100 = 12.68, so the total is 97.18.

Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?

Where tipping is customary on the pre-tax amount, as in much of the United States, enter the subtotal before tax. The calculator tips on whatever amount you enter.

How much should I tip?

It depends on where you are. In the United States 15 to 20% at a sit-down restaurant is common. In many other countries service is already included in the bill, so check it before adding more.

What does rounding each share up do?

Each person’s share is rounded up to the next whole amount, so nobody has to deal with coins. The tip grows by the rounding, and the result shows the tip percentage it works out to.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
