Tip percentage is a choice, not a fixed rule
Tipping norms vary by country, service type, and personal judgment of the service you received. In the United States, tipping in the 15%-20% range is common at full-service restaurants, but this calculator doesn't assume a single correct percentage — it works from whatever rate you choose, including 0%.
Splitting a bill fairly
Enter the number of people sharing the bill to divide the total evenly, including the tip. This even split doesn't account for who ordered what — for itemized splitting where people pay for exactly what they ordered, total each person's items separately before using this calculator.
- The tip is calculated on the bill total you enter.
- An even split divides the tip and bill equally across everyone, not by what each person ordered.
- Rounding the per-person amount can leave a few cents of difference from the exact total.
Before tax or after tax
Whether a tip is calculated before or after sales tax depends on local convention and personal preference — there's no single universal rule. This calculator lets you choose the base amount so the result matches what you actually intend to tip.
Frequently asked questions
There's no single correct answer — it depends on your country, the type of service, and your own judgment. This calculator doesn't set a required percentage; you choose the rate, including 0%.

Both approaches are used in practice, and there's no single universal rule. Choose the base amount that matches your own convention or your venue's local practice.
No. The bill total, tip percentage, and number of people you enter are calculated only in this browser tab and are never sent to or stored on a Nemdax application server.
