Tip Calculator

Split a bill and work out the tip per person.

Overview

Calculates dining gratuity amounts and splits restaurant bills evenly or custom among friends with tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive tipping toggles.

Formula & Calculation Method

Tip Amount = Bill Subtotal × (Tip % / 100) | Per Person Split = (Bill Subtotal + Tip) / Number of People

Standard tipping etiquette suggests tipping on the pre-tax food and beverage subtotal rather than the post-tax bill total.

Worked Example: ₹3,000 Dinner Bill Split Among 4 Friends with 10% Tip

Inputs: Bill Subtotal = ₹3,00,0? No, ₹3,000 | Tip Rate = 10% | People = 4

  • Tip amount = ₹3,000 × 0.10 = ₹300
  • Total bill including tip = ₹3,000 + ₹300 = ₹3,300
  • Split per person = ₹3,300 / 4 = ₹825 per person

Summary: Bill = ₹3,000 | Tip (10%) = ₹300 | Total = ₹3,300 | Each Person Pays = ₹825
