Total: total = bill + tip
Split: per person = total / people

Worked example
Splitting an $85 dinner three ways:
An 18% tip on $85 is 85 x 0.18 = 15.30. The total is 85 + 15.30 = 100.30, and three people each pay 100.30 / 3 = 33.43.
FAQ
How do I calculate a tip? +
Calculate a tip by multiplying the bill amount by the tip percentage divided by 100. For example, a 20% tip on $50 is $10.
What is a good tip percentage? +
A common tip is 18% to 20% for sit-down service in the United States. Adjust it for local customs, service quality, and whether fees are already included.
Should I tip before or after tax? +
Tip is usually calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. If your receipt only shows the final total, using that number still gives a close and generous estimate.
How do I split a tip between people? +
Split a tip by dividing the final bill, including tip, by the number of people. This calculator does that automatically once you enter the group size.
What does round up do? +
Round up raises the final total to the next whole currency amount. It is useful when you want an easier cash total or simpler group split.
