Formula
tip = bill × tip % / 100 total = bill + tip each person = total / people (rounded up to the cent)
Worked examples
An $86.40 bill with an 18% tip is $15.55, for a total of $101.95. Split four ways, each person pays $25.49.
The same bill rounded up to whole dollars is $26.00 each. The group collects $104.00 and the extra $2.05 goes to the tip.
A $54.00 bill that includes $4.00 tax, tipping 20% on the $50.00 before tax, is a $10.00 tip and a $64.00 total.
Assumptions
- The split is even. For itemized splits, run the calculator once per person.
- Shares are rounded up to the cent so the bill is always covered.
- Tipping customs vary by country and by service.
