How it works
Tip = tip base × percent. Tip base is the bill total, or pretax subtotal when tax is entered and pretax is selected. Details: how we calculate.

How does this tip calculator work?
It multiplies your tip base by tip percent. Sample: $80 at 20% → tip about $16.00, total about $96.00. Educational only.
Should I tip on pretax or the full bill?
Customs vary. This tool can tip on the full bill amount or on pretax subtotal (bill − tax) when you enter tax and check that option.
Does this include automatic service charges?
No. If a check already adds a service charge, do not double-count it as a tip unless you choose to add more.
Can I prefill from a link?
Yes. Parameters: bill, tip, tax, tipOnPreTax, split.
Is this calculator free?
