The Tip & Gratuity Calculator computes restaurant dining tips and divides meal costs evenly among dining companions. It features convenient tip percentage presets (10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%), custom rate inputs, optional sales tax entry, and a configurable choice to calculate tip on either the pre-tax subtotal or post-tax total.
Tip = Base Amount * (Tip% / 100)
Multiplies either the pre-tax subtotal or post-tax total by the chosen tip percentage.
Total = Subtotal + Tax + Tip
The complete sum payable to the establishment.
Per Person = Total Amount / Number of People
Evenly distributes the total bill and gratuity among all dining guests.
Quickly select standard gratuity benchmarks (15%, 18%, 20%) on food and beverage bills for attentive table service.
Example: Calculating an 18% tip ($15.30) on an $85.00 dinner bill for a total payment of $100.30.
Divide the combined meal total and tip evenly between 2 to 6 dining partners to settle tabs quickly at the table.
Example: Dividing a $120.00 total bill including tip between 3 friends for exactly $40.00 per person.
Determine appropriate tips for personal care professionals, rideshare drivers, and food delivery couriers.
Example: Adding a 20% tip ($9.00) to a $45.00 haircut service.
Etiquette experts universally recommend tipping on the pre-tax food and beverage subtotal. Sales tax is a government levy, and servers do not receive any portion of taxes collected by the restaurant. The tool allows you to calculate both ways.
When sales tax is entered, you can choose whether the tip percentage applies strictly to the food and beverage subtotal (pre-tax) or to the combined subtotal plus tax (post-tax). If no tax is entered, the tip is calculated directly on the bill subtotal.
Tipping customs vary globally. In much of Europe, a 5% to 10% tip is standard for good service, or service is included in the bill. In Japan and South Korea, tipping is not practiced and can be considered impolite.
Many restaurants automatically add an 18% or 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more. Always check the itemized receipt; if auto-gratuity is included, you do not need to leave an additional tip unless the service was extraordinary.
