We built the simplest, fastest tip calculator we could. Enter your bill, choose your percentage, split between guests. No signup required, no ads blocking the tool, no unnecessary steps. Just the answer you need.

Why Tipping Matters

In the United States, tipping is not optional — it is the primary income mechanism for millions of service workers. Under federal law, employers can pay tipped employees as little as $2.13 per hour before tips. This means that for servers, bartenders, hairstylists, delivery drivers, and countless others, tips are not a bonus on top of a living wage — they are the wage.

Understanding this reality changes how most people approach tipping. Our goal is to make sure every person who uses our calculator tips fairly and confidently, knowing exactly what their server, stylist, or delivery driver will receive.
