Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a 15% tip?
Multiply your bill amount by 0.15. For example, a $50 bill × 0.15 = $7.50 tip. With this Tip Calculator, just enter $50 as the bill and select 15% — the result appears instantly.
How do you split a bill with tip between multiple people?
Add the tip to the total bill first, then divide by the number of people. This Tip Calculator does it automatically — enter the bill, tip %, and number of people to get each person's exact share.
What is a standard tip percentage at a restaurant?
The standard tip in the US is 15–20% for good restaurant service. 18% is considered polite for average service, 20%+ for excellent service. In many other countries, 10% or rounding up is more common.
How much should I tip on a $100 bill?
On a $100 bill: a 15% tip is $15, an 18% tip is $18, and a 20% tip is $20. Enter any amount in the calculator above to see the exact split for any tip percentage.
Should I tip before or after tax?
Tipping before tax is technically correct and slightly cheaper. However, tipping on the full post-tax total is a common and perfectly acceptable practice. Either way is fine — just be consistent.
