About this tool

Splitting a restaurant bill fairly should take seconds, not a debate. Enter the bill, choose a tip percentage, and see the tip amount, grand total, and exact per person share instantly.

In the United States, 15 to 20 percent is customary for table service, with 18 percent a common middle ground. For large groups, check whether gratuity was already added to the bill before tipping again.

Frequently asked questions

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Convention varies. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is the traditional standard, though many people simply tip on the total for simplicity.

What about counter service?

Tipping norms for counter service are looser. Ten percent or a flat dollar amount is common and entirely at your discretion.
