Calculate the perfect tip, split the bill between friends, and see exactly how much each person owes. Works for restaurants, taxis, salons, and any tipped service.
Standard restaurant tip in the US is 15-20% for good service, 18-20% for great service, and 25%+ for exceptional service. For poor service, 10% is acceptable. For buffets, tip 10%.
Multiply your bill by 0.20, or move the decimal one place left and double it. For a $50 bill: $50 × 0.20 = $10 tip. Total = $60.
Enter the total bill, set the tip percentage, and enter the number of people. This calculator shows exactly how much each person owes including their share of the tip.
For a $100 dinner: 15% tip = $15, 18% tip = $18, 20% tip = $20. A good rule of thumb is 18-20% for restaurant meals in the US.
Tipping before tax is technically correct, but most people tip on the total including tax for simplicity. The difference is usually small.
Tip taxi drivers 10-15% for a standard ride, 15-20% for help with luggage or exceptional service.
Tip hairdressers and barbers 15-20% of the service cost. For a $60 haircut, a $10-12 tip is standard.
At 18% tip: $85 × 0.18 = $15.30 tip. Total = $100.30. At 20%: $85 × 0.20 = $17 tip. Total = $102.
