Free Tip Calculator Widget
Let visitors calculate tips and split the bill in seconds.
A clean tip calculator your visitors can use to figure out the tip, the total, and the per-person split for any bill. It includes one-tap preset percentages, a custom tip field, and a bill splitter, and it recalculates live as they type. Install it with a single script tag — no dependencies, no accounts.
Embed this widget
Paste either snippet into your page — a Custom HTML block on WordPress, Shopify, or Squarespace works too. Both snippets update live as you customize, so what you copy is exactly what you configured.

</script>Configuration
Every option is an attribute on the script tag — the same attributes the customizer above exposes. All attributes are optional unless marked required — defaults apply when omitted.
| Attribute | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
data-hl-currency | "USD" | ISO 4217 currency code used to format all amounts. |
data-hl-default-percent | "15" | Tip percentage preselected when the widget loads (0–100). |
data-hl-accent | "#f97316" | Highlight color for the total, selected preset, and focus states. |
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Tip Calculator?
Paste the script snippet where you want the calculator to appear — it renders inline right after the tag and starts computing immediately with your default tip percentage.
Can I change the currency, default tip, and colors?
Yes — set data-hl-currency to any ISO currency code (like EUR or GBP), data-hl-default-percent for the preselected tip, and data-hl-accent for the highlight color.
Does it work on WordPress, Shopify, or Squarespace?
Yes — it is a single vanilla JS file with no dependencies, so it works on WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, or any site that can embed a script tag.
