What is a fair tip?
Tipping customs vary, but in the US 15–20% at restaurants is standard for good service — 18% is a safe middle ground, which is why this calculator starts there. In the UK, a 10–12.5% discretionary service charge is common, and tipping is less expected at pubs or counters. When in doubt, check your bill first: many restaurants already add a service charge, so you don't tip twice. Enter your bill above and split it fairly in seconds.
How the tip is calculated
The math is simple:
Tip = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100) · Total = Bill + Tip · Each pays = Total ÷ People
Use the tip table above to compare every percentage at a glance, or tap a preset chip / type a custom percentage in the shared-bill calculator — the result updates instantly as you type, including the per-person share.
Worked example
Your bill is 85.50 and service was great, so you pick 18%. Tip = 85.50 × 0.18 = 15.39, total = 100.89. Splitting between 2 people, each pays 50.45 (rounded). Try it above — you'll get the same numbers.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good tip percentage?
In the US, 15% is standard, 18–20% for great service, and 10% (or less) only if service was poor. In the UK, 10–12.5% is typical where service isn't included. This calculator defaults to 18% — adjust it to match your experience.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Traditionally, tip on the pre-tax subtotal — tax is the government's share, not the server's. In practice the difference is small, and most people tip on the total they see. Either way, the staff will appreciate it.
How do we split the bill fairly?
Enter the number of people and everyone pays an equal share — the calculator shows "Each person pays" automatically. If someone ordered far more, it's fairest to split their items separately and share only the common dishes.
Do I tip if a service charge is already added?
No — check the bill first. If you see a "service charge" or "gratuity" line (common for large groups), that is the tip. Adding more on top means tipping twice.
