Frequently Asked Questions

How is the tip amount calculated?

Tip amount = bill amount × (tip percentage ÷ 100). The total bill is the original amount plus that tip, and both are then divided evenly by the number of people splitting.

What's a reasonable tip percentage?

Conventions vary by country and service type — this tool includes 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, and 25% as quick presets since those cover the most common ranges for restaurant service in the US, but you can enter any custom percentage.

Does the per-person split account for who ordered what?

No — this calculates an even split, dividing the total bill and tip equally across everyone. It doesn't itemize individual orders; for itemized splitting you'd need to calculate each person's share of the bill total separately before entering it here.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax bill amount?

That's a personal/cultural choice this tool doesn't enforce — enter whichever bill amount (pre-tax subtotal or post-tax total) matches your preferred convention, and the tip will be calculated as a percentage of exactly what you entered.

Can I use this for group expenses other than restaurant bills?

Yes — the math is generic (amount + percentage-based addition, split evenly), so it works equally well for splitting a shared expense with a service charge, delivery fee percentage, or any other proportional add-on.
