The tip is calculated on the full bill, then the total is split evenly.

How it works

The tip is your bill multiplied by the tip percent, so tip = bill x percent. The total is simply the bill plus the tip. When you split, the grand total is divided evenly by the number of people to give each person's share.

Tip on subtotal: for the most accurate restaurant tip, enter your pre-tax subtotal as the bill amount. Tipping on the after-tax total is fine too, just slightly higher.
