Everyday Uses

Dining out

Get the tip and total in seconds — and settle the "how much do we leave?" debate before the server returns.

Group dinners

Split the bill including tip evenly, with a round-up option so nobody fumbles coins.

Delivery and services

Quick fair tips for food delivery, taxis, haircuts, and hotel staff — each with different norms.

Traveling abroad

Tipping culture varies wildly by country — compute local-appropriate percentages instead of defaulting to home habits.

Where tipping is not the custom

Japan and South Korea generally do not tip at all, and much of continental Europe includes service. Knowing before the bill arrives avoids both awkwardness and overpaying.

When service is already added

Many bills carry an optional service charge as a separate line. Adding a tip on top quietly doubles it, so the itemised bill is worth reading before you calculate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I tip?

In the US, 15–20% is standard for restaurant table service, with 18–20% for good service. Counter service is often 10% or a couple of dollars, food delivery 10–15% with a sensible minimum, and bartenders $1–2 per drink or 15–20% of the tab. Norms differ widely by country — in Japan tipping is not customary at all, while in much of Europe 5–10% or rounding up is typical because service charges are often included.

Do I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Etiquette traditionally says the pre-tax subtotal, and nobody will ever object to that. Many people simply tip on the final total for simplicity — on a typical bill the difference is small (tipping 18% on tax adds roughly 1.5% of the subtotal in most US states). Choose one approach and be consistent.

How does splitting the bill with a tip work fairly?

The simplest fair method is to add the tip to the total first, then divide by the number of people — which is exactly what this calculator does. The round-up option bumps each person's share to a whole dollar so nobody deals with coins, with the extra going to the server.

Is a service charge the same as a tip?

No. A service charge (common for large parties, often 18–20%) is added by the restaurant and may not go entirely to your server. If a service charge is already on the bill, an additional tip is optional — many people add a small amount for excellent service. Check your bill before double-tipping.
