🧾Tip Calculator

This tool turns a restaurant check into clear numbers. You enter the bill, pick a tip percentage, and say how many people are sharing the cost. It then shows you the tip amount, the full total including the tip, and the amount each person needs to pay.

It is meant to take the mental math out of the moment when the check arrives. Instead of estimating in your head or passing a phone around the table, you get the same dollar figures everyone can agree on in a few seconds.

In the United States, a tip of roughly 15-20% of the bill is normal for sit-down service. Many people use 15% for adequate service, 18% for good service, and 20% or more when the service is excellent. These are conventions, not rules, so you can adjust up or down based on your experience.

Tipping customs vary a lot by country, so a US habit does not travel everywhere. In much of Europe and in Brazil, a service charge is often already included in the bill, and any additional tip tends to be small or simply optional. When you are abroad, it helps to check whether service is included before adding more, and to treat the percentages above as a US guideline rather than a worldwide standard.

Splitting is straightforward: the calculator first adds the tip to the bill to get the total, then divides that total evenly by the number of people. So everyone pays an equal share of both the food and the tip, not just the food.

This works best when the group is sharing roughly equally. If a few people ordered far more than others, you may prefer to split the bill into separate amounts and tip on each one. For a typical shared meal, though, dividing the single total by the number of people keeps things simple and fair.

tip is the gratuity amount, found by multiplying the bill by the tip percentage and dividing by 100.

The total is simply the bill plus the tip.

per person divides that total by the number of people sharing the check, so each share covers both food and tip.
