Gratuity is traditionally calculated on the pre-tax bill amount to avoid paying tip on state/local taxes. However, tipping on the post-tax bill total is a widely accepted shortcut.
Equal splitting divides the grand total (bill + tip) evenly among all diners. For groups where orders vary greatly in price, calculating custom per-person item shares prevents unfair cost distribution.
Checking the round-up option rounds the grand total up to the nearest whole integer. This eliminates loose coin change in cash payments and provides a modest extra tip for the server.
Quick answers about how this tool works.
Gratuity is traditionally calculated on the pre-tax bill amount, though many people calculate tip on the total post-tax bill for simplicity.
Enter the total bill, select your desired tip percentage, and enter the number of people sharing the check. The calculator divides both the tip and total bill equally per person.
It rounds the grand total (bill + tip) up to the nearest whole integer amount. The difference is added to the tip, making payment simpler.
Tipping on takeout is optional, but 10% is standard to appreciate the staff who packed the order.
