About the Tip Calculator
Settle the bill without doing maths at the table. Enter the bill amount, choose a tip percentage and see the tip, the total and what each person pays when you split it.
Turn on rounding to make each share a whole amount; the calculator shows the effective tip that results. It works in any currency.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip?
It depends on the country and the type of service. In some places 15–20% is customary, in others a small round-up is normal, and in some a service charge is already included in the bill. Check local custom when in doubt.
How is the tip calculated?
Tip = bill × tip percentage ÷ 100. The total is the bill plus the tip, and each person pays the total divided by the number of people.
Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?
Many people tip on the amount before tax, but customs vary. Enter whichever amount you want the tip to be based on.
What does rounding up do?
It rounds each person’s share up to the next whole amount, so it is easier to pay. The extra goes to the tip, and the effective tip percentage is shown.
