Calculate a tip and split the total across a group. Handy for servers, bartenders, and diners.
Tip
$10.00
Total $60.00
In Split-a-bill mode, enter the bill, pick a tip percent (15, 18, 20, or 25%, or type your own), and set how many people are splitting it — the calculator shows the tip, the grand total, and the per-person amounts. In Shift tip-out mode, enter your total tips for the shift and add each support role with the percent you tip out; the calculator subtracts each tip-out and shows your take-home. Tip = bill × tip% ; per person = total ÷ people ; take-home = total tips − sum of tip-outs.
Splitting a restaurant or bar tab with friends, deciding how much to tip on a service, or — as a server, bartender, or busser — checking your real take-home after the house tip-out or tip pool at the end of a shift.
In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for sit-down restaurant service, with 20%+ for great service. Many people round up for counter service or small tabs. The calculator's presets (15, 18, 20, 25%) cover the common range, or you can type any amount.
Etiquette is to tip on the pre-tax amount, but many people tip on the full total for simplicity. Enter whichever figure you prefer as the bill amount; the calculator applies your tip percent to the number you enter.
Enter the bill, choose a tip percent, and set how many people are splitting it. The calculator divides the grand total (bill + tip) by the number of people and also shows each person's share of the tip.
A tip-out is the share of your tips you pass to support staff — bartenders, bussers, food runners, hosts — usually as a percent of your sales or total tips. A tip pool combines tips and redistributes them by role or hours. Use Shift tip-out mode to enter each role's percent and see your take-home.
Yes — cash and card tips are taxable wages and must be reported to your employer and on your tax return. Tip-outs you pay to other staff generally reduce the tips you report. This tool estimates your take-home before taxes; use the paycheck calculator to apply federal, state, and FICA withholding.
No — every figure lives only in your browser session, and reloading the page starts fresh. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored.
