Formula and rules

  • Tip = bill × tip percentage ÷ 100
  • Total = bill + tip
  • With rounding on, the total is rounded up to the next 1, 5 or 10 and the difference goes to the tip
  • Per person = total ÷ number of people

Worked examples

85 bill, 18% tip, 2 people

Input Bill 85, tip 18%, 2 people, no rounding.

Result Tip 15.30, total 100.30, so 50.15 each.

124.60 bill rounded up to the next 5

Input Bill 124.60, tip 20%, 4 people, rounding up to 5.

Result Tip 24.92 and total 149.52 round up to 150, so the tip becomes 25.40 and each person pays 37.50.

FAQ

Should the tip be calculated before or after tax?

Either is accepted, but tipping on the pre-tax amount is the more common convention. If you only know the taxed total, subtract the tax first or accept a slightly larger tip.

How does the rounding option change the tip?

Rounding only ever increases the total, and the extra money is added to the tip. That keeps the split amount a clean figure without under-tipping the server.

Is a 20% tip expected everywhere?

No. Tipping norms vary widely: 15–20% is common in the United States, service charges are often built in across Europe, and many countries expect little or nothing. The percentage is fully editable for that reason.
