How to Use the Tip Calculator
Enter the bill amount, choose or type a tip percentage, and set how many people are splitting the bill. The calculator instantly shows the tip amount, the total with tip, and how much each person pays.
How to Calculate a Tip
Tip = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100)
Total = Bill + Tip
Per person = Total ÷ Number of people
Total = Bill + Tip
Per person = Total ÷ Number of people
For an $85 bill at 18%: tip = 85 × 0.18 = $15.30, total = $100.30.
