Tip Calculator

About this tip calculator

Tipping customs differ by country. In the United States and Canada, 15 to 20 percent is common at restaurants, while in much of Europe service is often included or a small round-up is usual. In the UK, many restaurants add a discretionary service charge, so check your bill first. This calculator finds the tip, the total and each person's share when a group splits the check, with an option to round the per-person amount up to a whole number.

How to use it

1. Enter the bill and the number of people.
2. Choose a tip percentage or type your own.
3. Read the tip, total and amount per person.

Tips and good to know

Check whether service is already included in the bill before you add a tip. In the US and Canada, 15 to 20 percent is common in restaurants, while in many European countries rounding up or leaving a few coins is enough. When splitting a bill, agree in advance whether to share the tip equally.
