Understanding Your Tip Calculation

A tip calculator makes it easy to calculate a gratuity based on your bill amount and the percentage you would like to tip. It can also show the total amount you'll pay after the tip is added.

Tip percentages can vary depending on the type of service and your personal preference. Using a calculator lets you quickly compare different percentages without having to work out the math yourself.
 

Why Use a Tip Calculator?

A tip calculator is especially useful at restaurants, salons, delivery services, and other situations where you may want to leave a gratuity. You can quickly see how different tip percentages affect the final total.

It can also make splitting a bill easier. If you're dining with a group, you can calculate the tip first and then determine approximately how much each person should contribute toward the total.
 

Simple Example

Suppose your restaurant bill is $75 and you decide to leave a 20% tip. The tip would be $15, bringing the total bill to $90.

If you wanted to compare an 18% or 25% tip instead, you could simply change the percentage in the calculator and immediately see the new tip amount and total.
