Tip Calculator Formula

total = bill + tax + tip; per person = total / people

The calculator first finds tax from the subtotal, then applies the tip rate either before tax or after tax. The final total is divided by the number of people.

How to Use the Tip Calculator

  1. 1

    Enter the bill subtotal

    Use the amount before tip. Add tax rate if you want the final bill total to include tax.

  2. 2

    Choose a tip rate

    Use a quick button such as 15%, 18%, or 20%, or type any custom tip rate.

  3. 3

    Split the bill

    Enter the number of people to see total per person and tip per person.

Pre-Tax vs Post-Tax Tip

Some people tip on the subtotal before tax, while others tip on the amount after tax. Use the mode switch to match your preference or local habit.

  • Tip before tax uses only the bill subtotal as the tip base.
  • Tip after tax uses subtotal plus tax as the tip base.
  • The split table updates immediately when the tip rate, tax rate, or number of people changes.
