Calculating tip and splitting the bill usually means mental math or a separate app. The Tip Calculator does it in the browser: enter bill amount, tip percentage (or preset), and number of people and get tip amount, total, and per-person share—no sign-up and no data sent to a server.
How is the tip calculated?
Tip amount = bill × (tip % ÷ 100). Total = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ number of people. You can enter the number of people to see how much each person pays including tip. Input: bill amount, tip percentage (or preset), and optionally number of people to split. Calculation runs in your browser; your amounts are not stored or sent. Use it at restaurants, for delivery, or any time you want to add a percentage tip and optionally split the total. Some tools offer round-up options; if not, round manually so the total covers the bill plus tip.

Why Use the Tip Calculator Instead of Alternatives?

Common Mistakes
