Calculate tip and total bill amount
Tip = Bill * (Tip% / 100) No calculations yet.
How to Calculate
Tip = Bill × (Tip% ÷ 100); Total = Bill + Tip
Tip Amount is computed by multiplying the Pre-Tax Bill Subtotal by the Tip Percentage divided by 100: Tip Amount = Subtotal × (Tip % ÷ 100). Total Bill is calculated as Subtotal + Tax + Tip Amount. Per-Person Cost is calculated by dividing Total Bill by the Number of People: Per-Person Cost = Total Bill ÷ Group Size.
* Example: $50 bill, 20% tip → $10 tip, $60 total
Step-by-Step Manual Calculation Guide
Step 1: Multiply your bill subtotal by the chosen tip percentage decimal (e.g., 20% = 0.20).
Step 2: Add the calculated tip amount to your total bill.
Step 3: If dining with a group, divide the grand total by the number of people sharing the check.
