How do I calculate tip?

Tip Amount = Bill × (Tip Percentage / 100). For a $50 bill with 20% tip: $50 × 0.20 = $10 tip. Total = $50 + $10 = $60. Our tip calculator does this instantly for any amount.

How much tip should I give?

In the US: 15% for adequate service, 18-20% for good service, 20-25% for excellent service. For poor service, 10% minimum. Always tip at least something unless service was truly unacceptable.

How do I split a bill with tip?

Calculate total (bill + tip), then divide by number of people. For $100 bill + $20 tip split 4 ways: $120 ÷ 4 = $30 per person. Our tip calculator split bill feature does this automatically.

Should I tip on pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Either is acceptable. Tipping on pre-tax is technically correct (tip for service, not tax). Post-tax is simpler and slightly more generous. For a $100 bill with 8% tax, the difference is small: pre-tax 20% = $20, post-tax 20% = $21.60.

How do I calculate tip per person?

Calculate total tip, then divide by number of people. Or calculate per-person bill first, then tip on that. For $200 bill split 4 ways with 20% tip: Each person's share = ($200 + $40) ÷ 4 = $60.

10% for poor service, speak to a manager about serious issues. Leaving no tip is rarely appropriate and punishes servers who often earn below minimum wage. Consider that bad service may not be the server's fault.
