How is the tip calculated?

Tip amount = Bill Amount × (Tip Percentage / 100). Total = Bill + Tip. Per person = Total / Number of people.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

In the US, it's common to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, though many people tip on the total including tax. This calculator uses the bill amount you enter — enter pre-tax or post-tax based on your preference.
