🇺🇸 U.S. Tip Calculator

In the United States, tipping is a customary part of paying for services such as restaurants, taxis, and deliveries. The amount is left to the customer, but common percentages guide most people.

Enter your bill, choose a tip percentage (or tap a preset), and the tool shows the tip, the total, and how much each person pays when the bill is split. The party size defaults to one.

Common U.S. tipping customs (amounts are discretionary):

Example: a $50.00 bill

1. Enter the bill amount.
2. Set or tap a tip percentage.
3. Enter the number of people splitting the bill.
4. Read the tip, total, and per-person amount.

What is a normal restaurant tip?

Most sit-down restaurants expect 15–20 percent of the pre-tax bill.

Should I tip on the tax?

Many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, though some tip on the total.

Do I have to tip?

Tipping is customary but not required; the amount is always your choice.

How do I split a tip?

Divide the total (bill plus tip) by the number of people sharing the bill.

Are preset percentages fixed?

No. The 15/18/20/25% buttons are common starting points you can override.

Use the presets as a quick start, then adjust the percentage for the service you received. When splitting, enter the full party size so the per-person amount is accurate. Remember the tool only estimates; the final amount is your decision.
