How It Works
Enter the bill and the charge
Type the subtotal before charges, then the service charge percentage printed on the bill (auto gratuity included).
Decide on an extra tip
If the service charge already covers the gratuity, leave the extra tip at 0% to avoid double-tipping.
Split it evenly
Each person’s share is the full total divided by the number of people, rounded fairly to the cent.
Worked Example
Four friends split a $200 bill that carries an 18% service charge. The charge is $36, so they set the extra tip to 0% — tipping on top would mean tipping twice. The total is $236, which is $59.00 each.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Subtotal | $200.00 |
| Service charge (18%) | $36.00 |
| Extra tip (0%) | $0.00 |
| Bill total | $236.00 |
| Each person (4 people) | $59.00 |
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a service charge versus a tip?
A service charge is added automatically by the restaurant and is part of the bill you legally owe. A tip is voluntary and added by you. Many large-party “auto gratuities” are actually service charges — check the receipt before adding more.
Why does the calculator warn about double-tipping?
If the bill already includes, say, an 18% service charge and you add another 18% tip, the staff effectively receives 36%. The warning appears whenever both a service charge and an extra tip are above 0%, so you can make a deliberate choice.
What if everyone wants to tip on top anyway?
You can — just enter the extra tip percentage and the calculator adds it. The warning is there to make sure it is intentional, not an accident.
