What is a Sales Tax & Tip Calculator?
A sales tax and tip calculator helps you quickly determine the final cost of any purchase after adding sales tax, or the total bill after adding a gratuity at a restaurant. It can also split the bill evenly among multiple people.
Sales tax rates in the United States vary by state and locality, ranging from 0% (in states like Oregon and Montana) to over 10% in some cities. Knowing the tax rate for your area helps you budget accurately for purchases.
Tipping customs vary by country and service type. In the United States, 15–20% is standard for restaurant service, 10–15% for food delivery, and $1–2 per bag for hotel bellhops. This calculator makes it easy to calculate any tip amount and split it among your group.
