Tip calculator
Work out a tip and the total bill from your chosen percentage.
How to calculate it
Multiply the bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100. Add the tip to the bill to find the total. For a bill of 50 with a 15% tip, the tip is 7.50 and the total is 57.50.
Worked examples
| Example | Working | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 15% tip on 50.00 | 50.00 × 15 ÷ 100 | 7.50 |
| 20% tip on 100.00 | 100.00 × 20 ÷ 100 | 20.00 |
| 10% tip on 19.99 | 19.99 × 10 ÷ 100 | 2.00 |
| 18% tip on 84.50 | 84.50 × 18 ÷ 100 | 15.21 |
| 12.5% tip on 60.00 | 60.00 × 12.5 ÷ 100 | 7.50 |
| 25% tip on 40.00 | 40.00 × 25 ÷ 100 | 10.00 |
Frequently asked questions
What is a normal tip percentage?
This varies by country and type of service — commonly somewhere between 10% and 20% where tipping is customary. Check local convention for the specific situation, since expectations vary widely around the world.
How do I split a bill and tip between several people?
Calculate the tip and total as normal, then divide the total shown by the number of people. For an even split of both the bill and the tip, everyone pays the same share of that total.
Should I tip on the total before or after any service charge?
This tool calculates a tip on whatever bill amount you enter. If a service charge is already included in your bill, decide separately whether an additional tip is expected, since practices vary by venue and country.
Can I use this for a percentage other than a restaurant tip?
Yes. It works the same way as the percentage calculator — any percentage of any amount — so it also suits a delivery tip, a service charge, or a similar percentage add-on.
How are the results rounded?
Amounts are rounded to two decimal places, matching how prices are normally shown.
