What this calculator is useful for

Calculate a tip, total bill and per-person amount when splitting a restaurant or service bill. The result is intended for quick estimates, checking arithmetic and comparing scenarios. When a result affects a contract, tax filing, medical decision, building-code requirement or other high-stakes situation, verify the result with the appropriate professional or authoritative source.

Calculate the tip and split separately

An 18% tip on a $96 bill is $17.28. Total with tip is $113.28, or $37.76 each when split equally three ways.

What to check: Check whether gratuity is calculated before or after sales tax and whether a service charge is already added. Equal splits do not account for different orders.

Compare with the Percentage calculator when that better matches the question you are trying to answer.
