About This Calculator
The Tip Calculator helps you quickly calculate tip amounts for restaurant bills and other services. Simply enter the bill amount, tip percentage, and number of people to split the bill, and the calculator shows you exactly how much to tip and the total amount including tip.
This tool makes it easy to calculate tips at common percentages (15%, 18%, 20%) and split bills evenly among friends or family members. Perfect for dining out, delivery services, and other tipping situations.
Formula & Calculation Method
Tip Calculation Formula:
Tip Amount = Bill Amount × (Tip % / 100)
Total Amount = Bill Amount + Tip Amount
Tip Per Person = Tip Amount ÷ Number of People
Total Per Person = Total Amount ÷ Number of People
Example: For a $100 bill with 18% tip split between 2 people:
Tip = $100 × 0.18 = $18
Total = $100 + $18 = $118
Per Person = $118 ÷ 2 = $59
