Examples
$84.00 bill, 18% tip, 1 person
= $99.12 total
$132.50 bill, 20% tip, 4 people
= $39.75/person
$24.30 coffee run, 15% tip, 2 people
= $13.97/person
How it works
We multiply the bill by the tip percentage, add the result back to the bill for the total, then divide by the number of people.
Tip · bill × (percent ÷ 100)
Per person · (bill + tip) ÷ people
Frequently asked questions
In the U.S., 18–20% is the typical range for sit-down restaurant service, 15% is the older standard. For takeout, delivery, baristas, and bartenders, 10–20% is common but optional. Always tip on top of any auto-applied service charge only if your server doesn't receive it.
Etiquette guides traditionally recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, but most diners tip on the total. The difference is small — what matters more is being consistent and generous with good service.
It rounds the per-person total up to the nearest whole dollar so everyone pays the same clean amount. The extra goes to the server, which usually means a slightly higher tip than your selected percentage.
If people ordered different amounts, calculate each person's subtotal first, then apply the tip percentage to each subtotal. This calculator assumes an even split.
