Tip Calculator

Tip amount = Bill × (Tip percentage ÷ 100). Total with tip = Bill + Tip amount. Per-person share = Total with tip ÷ Number of people.

For example, a bill of 4,000 with an 18% tip gives a tip amount of 4,000 × 0.18 = 720, a total of 4,720, and — split four ways — a per-person share of 1,180.

Some diners prefer to calculate the tip on the subtotal before sales tax is added, reasoning that the tax portion is not service the staff provided. Others simply tip on the final printed total for simplicity.

Neither approach is universally "correct" — pick one convention and apply it consistently. If your receipt already separates subtotal and tax clearly, enter the subtotal here if you want a pre-tax tip calculation.

If you need to add or remove GST from a price before deciding the tip base, the Sales Tax Calculator handles that step, and the Percentage Calculator is useful when you want a quick “what is X% of Y?” check without a full bill split.

An equal per-person split is the simplest approach and works well when everyone ordered roughly similar amounts. It can feel unfair, however, when one person ordered a modest salad and another ordered steak and multiple drinks.

• Equal split: fastest, works well for casual groups with similar orders.
• Itemized split: each person pays for exactly what they ordered, plus a proportional share of tax and tip — fairer but slower.
• Rounding up: round each person’s share up to the nearest convenient note or coin to avoid awkward change, especially in cash-heavy settings.

For large groups or significantly uneven orders, many people find an itemized split worth the extra few minutes, even if the group calculator only handles the equal-split math directly.

Common starting points many people use are 10% for adequate service, 15% for good service, and 18–20% for excellent service, though local custom, whether a service charge is already included, and venue type (casual vs fine dining, delivery vs dine-in) all shift what feels appropriate.

Always check your receipt for an already-included service charge before adding a separate tip on top — double-tipping is a common accidental mistake at busier restaurants and hotels.

Delivery drivers, hotel housekeeping, hairdressers, and ride-share drivers each have their own informal norms. A flat amount on a small coffee order may feel more natural than a percentage, while a large catered event might use a fixed gratuity line on the contract instead of a per-guest calculation.

When a delivery app already prompts for a tip at checkout, you are usually tipping on the order subtotal before any in-app fees — not on the full amount charged to your card. Enter the food total here if you want to sanity-check what 15% or 20% of the meal itself actually is, separate from platform charges.

For hotel stays, some guests leave a daily amount for housekeeping rather than a percentage of the room rate. The per-person split in this calculator still helps when a group shares one bill for a spa treatment, tour, or private dining experience.

If you only need the raw percent of a number — without a per-person split — the Percentage Calculator is enough. When the receipt shows GST or sales tax as a separate line, the Sales Tax Calculator can add or remove that rate before you decide how much tip to leave on the food subtotal.
