What does this tool do?
A coffee run adds up quickly once tip and delivery fees are included. This calculator totals the drinks, adds a tip on the drink subtotal and divides the bill evenly across the group.
The Formula
Subtotal = people × drinks per person × price; total = subtotal + subtotal × tip% + delivery feeFrequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip on a group coffee order?
15 to 20 percent is customary for counter service in the US, and a little more for delivery or a large custom order. The tip here is calculated on the drink subtotal.
Should the delivery fee be split evenly?
Evenly is simplest. If the order is lopsided, split the fee by drink count so the person who ordered one coffee does not subsidise the rest.
