GetSplitTip

What is a tip calculator?

A tip calculator turns the gratuity guesswork at the end of a meal into a single number. Instead of doing percentages in your head while the server waits, you enter the bill, choose a percentage, and read the tip and total straight away. GetSplitTip goes one step further and also acts as a bill split calculator, dividing the final restaurant bill between everyone at the table.

How to calculate a tip?

The formula is simple: tip = bill × (tip percentage ÷ 100). On a $80 meal with an 18% tip, that is 80 × 0.18 = $14.40, so the total comes to $94.40. If you prefer to calculate the gratuity on the post-tax amount, use the same formula with the total at the bottom of the check instead of the subtotal.

How much should I tip?

In the United States, most people tip between 15% and 25% at sit-down restaurants. Of that range, 15% is generally the floor for service that was fine but nothing more; 18% to 20% is the standard range for good service and what most tables leave; and 25% or above is a way to reward truly exceptional service — a server who went well beyond the ordinary.
