How this is calculated

The tip is a percent of the bill. The total is bill plus tip. Per person is that total divided by the number of people.

tip = bill × (tip percent / 100)

  1. 18% of 45 is 45 × 0.18 = 8.10. Total is 45 + 8.10 = 53.10.
  2. 20% of 60 is 12. Total is 72. Split 3 ways is 24 per person.
  3. If you leave the split blank, the calculator treats it as 1 person.

This tool does not add sales tax. Calculate tax first if your bill is pre-tax, then tip on the amount your table is using.
