Enter the bill amount before tip, choose a tip percentage with the slider or presets, and set how many people are splitting the check. Results update instantly.
The tip amount is calculated as a percentage of the bill. The total combines the bill and tip. When splitting, each person pays an equal share of the total—including tip.
