How much to tip: the tipping math
The math is simple but easy to fumble at the table. The most common question is how much to tip: 15 percent is the standard baseline, 20 percent for great service. The tip is the bill multiplied by the tip percent, and the total is the bill plus the tip. When you split, the total is divided by the number of people. This calculator does all three steps at once and rounds to cents, so nobody has to do mental math while the waiter stands there.
A handy shortcut for a 15 percent tip: take 10 percent of the bill (move the decimal one place left) and add half of that again. For a 20 percent tip, just double the 10 percent figure. The slider in the calculator goes from 0 to 50 percent, which covers everything from no tip to very generous.
Splitting without the awkwardness
Group dinners get complicated fast when everyone ordered different things. The simplest fair approach is splitting the total evenly, which works when the orders were roughly similar. If one person had a steak and everyone else had salads, it is fairer to split only the shared items evenly and let each person cover their own main dish plus their share of the tip on it.
Whatever method you pick, decide before the bill arrives. Nothing kills the mood like five minutes of phone-calculator negotiation. Punch the numbers in here, show the per-person figure around the table, and everyone pays the same amount with no debate.
