Tip Calculator

In the US, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurant service, with 20%+ for exceptional service. In the UK, tipping is more modest at around 10–12.5% (and often already added as a 'service charge'). In India, tipping is optional and a token 5–10% is generous. Cafés, delivery and taxis usually warrant less than full table service.

Add the tip to the bill to get the total, then divide by the number of people. This calculator does it for you — set 'Split between N people' and it shows both the per-person total and each person's share of the tip. For an even split this is exact; if people ordered very differently, you may prefer to split by what each person actually had.

United States: 15–20% expected at restaurants. United Kingdom: around 10–12.5%, and not always expected. India: optional, roughly 5–10%. Much of continental Europe rounds up or tips 5–10% since service is often included. Japan and some other countries don't have a tipping culture at all — always check local norms.

Traditionally you tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but tipping on the full total is common and no one will mind a slightly larger tip. Enter whichever figure you prefer as the bill amount and the calculator handles the rest.

Not always. Many UK and European restaurants add a discretionary service charge (often 12.5%) to the bill — if that's there, an additional tip is optional. Check your receipt before adding more so you don't tip twice.
