Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Either is acceptable; many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal. Enter whichever bill figure you prefer to base the tip on.

How do I split the tip unevenly?

How to use the Tip Calculator

01
Enter the bill amount. The pre-tip total from your check.
02
Choose a tip percentage. Tap a preset (10–25%) or type a custom rate.
03
Split it if needed. Set the number of people to see the per-person amount.

How is it calculated?

The tip is the bill times your chosen percentage (bill × tip% ÷ 100). The total is the bill plus the tip, and the per-person amount divides that total by the number of people. Everything recalculates as you adjust any field.
