How to use the tip calculator.
Calculate and review
Use the main action when needed. Tip = bill × tip rate. Total = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ number of people.
Try a worked example
A £50 bill with a 10% tip split between two people is £27.50 each.
Check the assumptions
Service charges, rounding, card fees and local tipping conventions may already be included or differ from your choice.
A clearer answer
How do I split a bill fairly with a tip?
Enter the bill, tip percentage and number of people. The calculator returns the tip, total, per-person amount and total per person.
See the useful decision, not only one number.
It shows the arithmetic and lets you compare tip percentages without changing the bill, in GBP, EUR, USD, CAD or AUD.
Worked example: £50 bill at 10% for two
The tip is £5, the total is £55 and each person pays £27.50.
Method: Tip = bill × rate. Total = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ people.
Common mistakes to avoid.
- Counting a service charge that is already on the bill
- Forgetting card fees, rounding or minimum charges
- Splitting by number of people when shares differ
- Assuming every country uses the same tipping convention
Use the result with the right assumptions.
Service charges, card fees, rounding and local tipping conventions may already be included or differ from your choice. This is a transparent arithmetic helper, not etiquette advice.

How does this tip calculator work?
Tip = bill × tip rate. Total = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ number of people.
What should I check before using the result?
Service charges, rounding, card fees and local tipping conventions may already be included or differ from your choice.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
It depends on local practice and personal preference. The calculator uses the bill amount you enter, so enter the amount you actually want to calculate the tip from.
How do I split a bill when people ordered different amounts?
This tool splits the total evenly. For different shares, calculate each person's own bill plus tip separately or use a shared-bills splitter with itemised lines.
