Guide
Tip or gratuity is a customary payment made to service workers. It is typically calculated as a percentage of the pre-tax bill. This calculator combines the bill amount, tip rate, and tax amount to find the grand total, then splits it equally across the group.
Review the breakdown to see the exact tip amount and the total cost per person, preventing any confusion at checkout.
Gratuity
A voluntary payment given to service workers in addition to the base price of a service.
Per capita split
Dividing the total bill equally among the number of people in the group.
Tips are traditionally calculated on the pre-tax subtotal to ensure the gratuity reflects only the cost of service.
Convert the tip percentage to a decimal (e.g., 18% becomes 0.18) and multiply it by the bill subtotal. Add the tip and any tax to the subtotal to find the final total.
