What to know
Use this calculator when you want a quick dining or service-tip estimate, especially when the receipt breaks out tax separately or the bill is being split.
When to tip on subtotal versus subtotal plus tax
Many sit-down restaurant conventions use the pre-tax subtotal as the tip basis. Some users prefer to tip on the full taxed total, so the page makes that choice explicit instead of hiding it.
Why split totals matter
A tip calculator is most useful when it helps groups settle the bill quickly. Showing both the full total and the per-person amount reduces last-minute mental math at the table.
What to check before adding a tip
Some receipts include an automatic gratuity or a mandatory service charge. This page helps with the arithmetic, but the receipt still needs to be checked before adding more tip.

FAQ
Common questions
Should I tip on the subtotal or on the total after tax?
The most common default is the pre-tax subtotal, but some people prefer to tip on the subtotal plus tax. This page lets you choose explicitly.
Does this calculator include tax in the total bill?
Yes. If you enter a tax amount, the total bill includes it, and you can decide whether the tip uses just the subtotal or the subtotal plus tax.
Can I split the tip evenly across multiple people?
Yes. The page shows the per-person total after tip and tax, plus the per-person share of the tip itself.
What if the receipt already includes gratuity?
Check the receipt first. If gratuity or a service charge is already included, you may not want to add another tip on top.
