Bill splitting guide

Tip Calculator Guide

A tip calculator is useful when you want the total, tip amount, and per-person split without doing mental math at the table. This guide shows a simple workflow for clean shared payments.

Quick workflow

A simple way to do it

  1. 1

    Enter the bill subtotal or total you want to base the tip on.

  2. 2

    Choose the tip percentage and number of people splitting the bill.

  3. 3

    Review the tip amount, grand total, and per-person amount, then round if needed for easier payment.

Choose the amount the tip should use

Some people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, while others tip on the final total. Decide which amount fits the situation before calculating.

Split bills without losing the details

A per-person total is easier to trust when you can still see the original bill, tip amount, and grand total behind it.

Handle discounts before the final split

Coupons, happy-hour offers, and shared discounts can change the base amount. Use a discount calculation first if the final bill needs a separate check.

Use percentage math for custom scenarios

If you need to compare multiple tip rates or explain a percentage, the percentage calculator pairs well with the dedicated tip workflow.
