About the tip calculator
In U.S. restaurants a tip of 15% to 20% of the pre-tax bill is customary for table service, with 20% or more for excellent service. Enter the bill, choose a percentage and the calculator shows the tip, the total and each person's share.
Formula
Tip = bill × tip %. Total = bill + tip. Per person = total ÷ number of people.
