Should I tip before or after tax?
Many US diners calculate tip from the pre-tax subtotal, but some receipts and payment terminals use an after-tax basis.
How much will you pay?
A restaurant tip calculator combines the bill subtotal, receipt tax and chosen tip basis to estimate the complete amount one payer will pay.
Use the tip calculator by entering the subtotal, choosing how tax appears and selecting a tip rate. It also works as a gratuity calculator or tip percentage calculator for a custom rate. You can calculate tip with tax or split the completed bill.
Frequently asked questions
Does a service charge replace the tip?
Not always. Check the receipt or ask the restaurant before adding another tip.
How does the tip calculator handle a custom tip?
The tip rate is multiplied by the chosen tip basis and rounded to the nearest cent.
Is my bill uploaded?
No. Calculations run locally in this browser.
