Quick Presets
One-click 15/18/20/25% chips for the most common US tip levels. 15% is the historical baseline; 18-20% is now standard sit-down service.
Bill Splitter
Divide the post-tip total by any number of people for even split. Per-person tip shown separately if you want to use different cards.
Custom Tip
Type any percentage — useful for varying service quality, large parties (often 18-20% gratuity auto-added), or cultural norms (10-12% in much of Europe).
Live Calculation
Type any input, see all amounts update instantly.
Pre-Tax or Post-Tax
Tipping convention varies. US convention is on the pre-tax bill — enter your subtotal for that, or the after-tax total to tip on the grand total.

Total (bill + tip) ÷ people. Each person's share includes their portion of the tip. If you want to split unevenly, divide the bill manually before calculating.
