How to calculate a tip
Multiply the bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100. For an 18% tip on a $64.50 bill: 64.50 × 18 ÷ 100 = $11.61. Add that to the bill for a total of $76.11. Split between two people, each pays about $38.06.

Should I tip before or after tax?
Etiquette guides commonly say tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is fine, while many diners simply tip on the final total because it is the number on the receipt. The difference is small: on a $60 meal with 8% tax, an 18% tip is $10.80 before tax and $11.66 after tax.
How to split a bill fairly
- Even split: enter the full bill and the number of people. Best when everyone ordered similar items.
- By what you ordered: run the calculator once per person with their own subtotal and the same tip percentage.
- Rounding up: choose “round each share up” so nobody has to deal with coins; the extra goes to the server.
