Tip Calculator

Calculate the tip and total lines for your receipt. The tip is your percentage of the amount minus tax, added to the amount. When that total is over $20, the calculator rounds up to the next dollar.

Amount: 29.71
+ Tip: 5.29
= Total: 35.00
Actual tip percentage is 17.81%.
Split the Total
One person pays
+ Tip: 4.29
= Total: 34.00
The remaining person pays
+ Tip: -.--
= Total: -.--
The tip & total do not divide evenly so one person has to pay a different amount.

Tip Calculator Help

Enter the amount on your receipt in the Amount box

If that amount includes tax, enter the tax in the Tax box so the tip is figured on the pre-tax portion. Leave tax at 0 to tip on the whole amount.

In "What to Pay," you can enter a Desired Total, enter a Desired Tip, or choose a Percentage.

  • Choose the tip with the Percentage drop down
  • Put the total you want to pay in the Desired Total box
  • Put the tip you want to pay in that same box. The label changes to Desired Tip when you enter less than the receipt amount

To split the check, enter how many people are paying in the Number of People box. The tip and the total are divided in cents. When they do not divide evenly, one person pays the extra. A $10.41 total split two ways is $5.20 and $5.21.
