Should the tip go on the bill before tax or after it? And what does 18% look like on 86.40 split four ways? The Tip Calculator answers both in a second, with the per person figure rounded to something you can actually hand over.
Short answer: The Tip Calculator is a free tool on EizTools that works out tips and totals. Enter the bill, the tip you want and the group size, and it returns the tip, the total and the amount each.
What is Tip Calculator?
It handles the small arithmetic nobody wants to do at a table. Describe the bill in plain words and the Tip Calculator returns the tip amount, the new total and the per person share, with rounding applied the way you asked.
Tip On Pre Tax Or Total
This is the question that quietly changes the number. Tipping on the pre tax amount is standard in many places and gives a slightly smaller tip. Tipping on the total including tax is common too, and on a large bill the difference is real money. Tip Basis lets you pick, and it also offers the familiar 15, 18 and 20% set, a custom percentage or a flat amount.
Five tip bases
Pre tax, total with tax, the suggested 15/18/20 set, a custom percentage or a flat amount.
Regional norms
US restaurant, US bar or cafe, Europe, Delivery and Salon or spa, each with different expectations.
Rounding options
Round the total up, round per person, round to the nearest unit or to the nearest five.
Region Norms And Rounding
| Situation | Settings that fit |
|---|---|
| Restaurant meal, four people | Region US restaurant, Tip Basis pre tax, Round per person up |
| Coffee and pastries | Region US bar or cafe, Tip Basis flat amount |
| Meal in Europe | Region Europe, where service is often included already |
| Food delivery | Region Delivery, Tip Basis custom percentage |
The Region setting adjusts guidance, not obligation. Tipping customs differ by country and by venue, and in several places a service charge already appears on the bill. Check before adding anything on top.
How Does Tip Calculator Work?
- Type the bill: "86.40 for 4 people, want to leave a generous tip and split evenly."
- Select which model works out the total.
- Set the currency shown on the bill, Tip Basis to Suggested 15/18/20%, Rounding to Round per person up, Region to US restaurant.
- Output Detail defaults to Short here, which suits a quick answer at the table.
- Generate, then read the per person figure.
- Copy or share the result if someone wants to see how it broke down.
Note Look at the bill for a service charge before you tip. Many restaurants add one automatically for larger groups, and adding a full tip on top of it doubles what you meant to give.
Quick Answers It Gives
- The tip at three percentages at once, so you can pick without doing the maths
- The per person share after rounding, which avoids anyone chasing small change
- The total including tip, which is the figure your card will actually be charged
- A flat tip converted into its percentage, useful for checking whether it is fair
Every EizTools tool is free with no account required, each built for a single job, with a choice of AI model families on the page. Meals out are usually part of a bigger plan, and the Trip Itinerary Generator is worth a look when the dinner is one line in a week away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip on the pre tax amount?
It is the common convention in the United States and it is perfectly acceptable. Tipping on the total including tax is also normal. Pick one, and the difference on a typical bill is small.
Does the Tip Calculator split the bill by person?
It splits the total evenly across the group size you give. For splitting by what each person ordered, use the itemised approach on the split bill tool instead.
How much should I tip on delivery?
Set Region to Delivery and use a custom percentage or a flat amount. Delivery norms differ from restaurant service, and distance and weather usually matter more than the order value.
What if service is already included?
Then no further tip is expected in most places. Mention the included charge in your prompt so the total reflects what you are really paying rather than adding to it.
Tipping should take five seconds, not a debate over the receipt. Choose your basis, let the rounding tidy the per person figure, and get the total right the first time.
