Tip Calculator

Work out a tip and the total, and split it between any number of people.

The bill, sorted

At the end of a meal there is a small flurry of maths — what is 18% of this, what is the total, how much does each of us owe. This handles all of it: the tip at whatever percentage, the new total, and the split across your group, so no one is doing sums on a napkin.

Enter the bill, choose a tip percentage, and set the number splitting it.

Tipping varies by place

Worth remembering that tipping customs differ enormously by country. In the US a tip is effectively expected and often 18 to 20% or more, since it forms part of staff income; in much of Europe service is often included and a small round-up is plenty; in some countries tipping is not customary at all. The calculator handles the arithmetic whatever percentage you choose; knowing the local norm is what tells you which percentage is right.

Questions & answers

Can it split the bill unevenly?

This splits the total evenly across the group; for shares based on income, an income-based splitter handles uneven splits.

What tip percentage should I use?

It depends on the country — around 18 to 20% is typical in the US, while elsewhere service may be included and a round-up suffices.
