Formula & Methodology
The tip is the bill multiplied by your chosen percentage. Adding it to the bill gives the total due, and dividing that total by the party size gives each person's share, including their portion of the gratuity.
- Tip = Bill Amount × (Tip % / 100)
- Total = Bill Amount + Tip
- Per Person = Total / Number of People
Worked Example
Using the Tip Calculator: apply the formula above to your input values. For instance, Tip = Bill Amount × (Tip % / 100), then Total = Bill Amount + Tip. The tool performs each step instantly and shows the result.
