Tip calculator

Enter the bill, the tip percentage and how many people are paying. You see the tip, the total and each share.

If you prefer round numbers, it rounds each share up and the extra goes to the tip.

How it's calculated

Tip = bill × tip percentage ÷ 100.
Total = bill + tip.
Each share is the total divided by the number of people.

An example

A bill of $100 with a 15% tip adds $15, for a total of $115.

Split between 3 people, each pays $38.33.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I tip?

It depends on local custom. Check what is usual in New Zealand, and whether a service charge is already on the bill.

Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?

Most people tip on the total shown on the bill. If you prefer to tip on the pre-tax amount, enter that figure instead.

What is a quick way to work out a 15% tip?

Divide the bill by 10 to get 10%, then add half of that. On 40, that is 4 plus 2, so 6.
