How it's calculated

Tip = (Bill − Tax) × Tip % · Total = Bill + Tip · Each = Total ÷ People

Worked example

An $86.40 bill, 20% tip, split two ways: tip = $17.28, total = $103.68, each pays $51.84 (or $52 rounded up).

Common questions

Should I tip on the total or before tax?

Either is common. Tipping on the pre-tax amount is a little less; enter the tax above to see that version.

How much should I tip?

Customs vary a lot by country and service. In the U.S., 15–20% is typical at sit-down restaurants; in many other countries, service is included or tips are smaller.
