How This Calculator Works
Enter your pre-tax or post-tax bill total, select a tip percentage (or type a custom amount), choose how many people are splitting the check, and optionally add the local sales tax rate.
The calculator figures the tip on the pre-tax subtotal (the recommended US standard), then adds tax and divides by the number of guests — giving you a clean per-person amount down to the cent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard tip percentage in the US?
The standard tip in the US ranges from 15% to 20% for sit-down restaurant service. 18% is widely considered the baseline for good service, while 20–25% reflects excellent service. For counter service or takeout, 10–15% is common but optional.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Tipping etiquette in the US suggests tipping on the pre-tax subtotal — i.e., what you actually paid for the food and drinks before your state or city sales tax is added. This calculator follows that convention, though tipping on the full total is perfectly acceptable too.
How do I split the bill evenly among multiple people?
Type the number of people in the "Split Between" field. The calculator divides the total (bill + tip + tax) equally and rounds each share up to the nearest cent to ensure the full amount is covered. The "Per Person" result is what each guest owes.
What sales tax rate should I enter?
Use the combined state + local rate for your city. For example: New York City is 8.875%, Los Angeles is 10.25%, Chicago is 10.25%, and Miami is 7%. Many receipts show the tax amount — divide it by your subtotal to get the rate if unsure. Leave the field blank if tax is already included in your bill total.
