Because tipping customs vary, the tool also prints a small table with 10%, 15%, 18%, 20% and 25% so you can pick a figure that matches local practice and the service you received. If you are splitting a bill with different order totals, calculate each share separately or use the Percentage Calculator for a proportional split.

Frequently asked questions
Should the tip be calculated before or after tax?
Convention is to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but many people simply tip on the total. Enter whichever base your bill shows.
How do I split unevenly?
Run the calculator once per person with their own order total, or assign shares manually from the grand total.
