Frequently asked questions
Is the tip calculator free to use?
Yes, it’s free with no sign-up and nothing to install. It works on any phone or computer, so you can open it at the table, enter the bill and see the tip, total and each person’s share in seconds.
Does the tip calculator save my bill amounts?
Only on your own device. All the math happens in your browser as you type and nothing is sent to our server. To save retyping, the calculator remembers your last bill, split and custom tip in this browser; click “Reset settings” under the tool to go back to the $50 bill and 18% tip.
How much should I tip at a restaurant in the US?
For sit-down restaurant service in the US, 15% to 20% is common, with 18% to 20% typical for good service and more for excellent service. Counter service, takeout and delivery vary more, so choose whatever feels right using the presets or a custom percentage.
Should I calculate the tip before or after sales tax?
Many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, since tax isn’t part of the service, while others tip on the full total for simplicity. This calculator applies the percentage to whatever amount you enter, so type the pre-tax subtotal if you want to tip before tax.
How do I split a bill and tip between friends?
Enter the bill, choose a tip percentage, and set Split between to the number of people. The Per person amount shows each share including tip. It splits evenly, so for separate orders run the calculator once per person with their own subtotal.
Can I use the tip calculator in other currencies?
Yes, the math works for any currency, but results are displayed with a $ sign and two decimals. Enter the amount in your local currency and read the numbers the same way. Tipping customs differ widely by country, so check what’s typical locally.
