About Free Tip Calculator & Bill Splitter
Figuring out the right tip and splitting the check should never slow down a great meal. Our free tip calculator takes your bill amount, lets you pick a tip percentage, and instantly shows the total with a per-person breakdown when you are dining with a group. It works on any phone, tablet, or computer, with no app to install.
Preset buttons cover 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, and 25%, the range most US diners choose from; for any other rate, enable the custom option and set the exact percentage with a slider from 0% to 30%. The bill splitting feature divides both the tip and the total evenly among any number of people, eliminating awkward mental math at the table.
A built-in service quality guide helps you decide the appropriate tip based on your experience, ranging from 10% for below-average service to 25% for outstanding attention. All calculations happen in real time as you type, so you always have an up-to-date answer without pressing a single button.
