How does the Tip Calculator work out the tip amount?

It multiplies the bill (or the pre-tax subtotal, if that toggle is on) by the tip percentage divided by 100: tip = base × tip% / 100. The total is the bill plus the tip.

Can the Tip Calculator split the bill between people?

Yes. Enter the number of people and the Tip Calculator divides both the total and the tip evenly, showing the per-person amount and the tip share per person.

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

Either is common. The Tip Calculator defaults to tipping on the full bill; turn on 'Tip on pre-tax amount' and enter the tax percentage already in the bill to tip only on the subtotal instead.

Does the Tip Calculator round the per-person share?

No, it shows the exact even split to the cent. If you want to round up for convenience, add a small amount to the total before splitting.

Is the Tip Calculator financial advice?

No. It gives fast estimates only, not financial or tax advice. Verify the final amount against the actual receipt before paying.

Does the Tip Calculator upload my bill amount?

No. The Tip Calculator runs entirely in your browser. The amounts you type never leave your device and are not uploaded to ArrayKit.

About Tip Calculator

The Tip Calculator works out the tip amount, the grand total and each person's share from a bill and a tip percentage. Enter the bill, pick a quick 15%, 18% or 20% tip or type a custom percentage, and set the number of people to split the check between. It instantly shows the tip amount, the total including tip, and the per-person amount, plus the tip share per person when the group is more than one. An optional toggle lets you calculate the tip on the pre-tax subtotal instead of the tax-included total, which matters when a receipt already has sales tax baked in. It's handy at a restaurant, for a group dinner, a delivery order or any service where you want a fair, fast split. These are estimates only, not financial or tax advice — everything computes locally in your browser and your bill amounts stay on your device.

Common errors & troubleshooting

Per-person amount looks too high for a small group. — Check the number of people field — it defaults to 1, so leaving it unchanged calculates the full total for a single payer, not a split.
Tip amount seems too large after entering a total that already includes tax. — Turn on 'Tip on pre-tax amount' and enter the sales tax percentage already included in the bill so the Tip Calculator tips on the subtotal, not the tax.
Result shows a banner instead of a total. — Make sure the bill, tip percentage and number of people are all 0 or more, and that at least 1 person is entered.
Custom tip percentage was typed as a decimal like 0.2 instead of 20. — Enter the tip as a whole percentage, e.g. 20 for 20% — the Tip Calculator divides by 100 internally.
