About This Calculator
Quickly find the right tip on any restaurant or service bill. Enter your pre-tax subtotal and choose a tip percentage — or type a custom one — and see the tip amount and total instantly.
How It Works
Tip is calculated on the pre-tax subtotal (the standard US convention). Enter the bill amount before tax, choose a tip percentage using the quick buttons or type your own, and the calculator shows the tip amount and the final total (subtotal + tip, not including any sales tax).
The Formula
Tip = subtotal × (rate ÷ 100) Total = subtotal + Tip
- Tip
- tip amount in dollars
- subtotal
- pre-tax bill amount
- rate
- tip percentage (e.g. 18 for 18%)
