What is the Tip Calculator?

The free Tip Calculator works out the tip amount, total bill, and cost per person in seconds. Enter the Bill Amount, set the Tip Percentage using the input or quick-select buttons (10%, 15%, 20%), and enter the number of people in Split Between — the tool instantly shows the tip, the total, and each person's exact share. Perfect for splitting restaurant bills, service payments, or any shared expense.

  • Split a restaurant bill fairly among a group of friends or colleagues
  • Calculate the correct tip for a waiter, driver, or service provider
  • Find each person's share when a group wants to tip a specific percentage
  • Check the total amount to pay including tip before handing over cash or card
  • Model different tip percentages to decide how much to leave

  3. 3 Enter the number of people sharing the bill in the Split Between field.
  4. 4 Read the three result cards: Tip Amount (total tip), Total Bill (bill + tip), and Per Person (each person's share of the total including tip).

What is a standard tip percentage in Nigeria?
Tipping culture in Nigeria is less formalised than in Western countries. In restaurants and hotels, 10% is a common courteous tip for good service. High-end restaurants sometimes add a service charge automatically — check your bill before tipping additionally. For delivery riders and drivers, any amount is appreciated as tipping is discretionary.
Should the tip be calculated before or after tax?
Convention varies. In practice, most people tip on the pre-tax subtotal for simplicity — which this calculator supports when you enter the food total before VAT. If the bill already includes VAT and service charge, you can tip on the full inclusive amount — just enter that total in the Bill Amount field.
