Work out the tip on a bill, the total including tip, and how much each person owes if you're splitting it.
Tipping norms vary widely by country and even by service type. In the United States, 15–20% is typical for sit-down restaurant service; many other countries don't expect tipping at all, or round up modestly instead. Adjust the percentage field to match local convention.
This calculator splits the total evenly across everyone in the group. If people ordered very different amounts, a fairer approach is to calculate each person's share of the pre-tip bill separately and apply the tip percentage to each share individually.
Conventions differ; many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but tipping on the post-tax total is also common and usually only a small difference either way — enter whichever amount your bill's convention suggests.
For an even split, this calculator works well. If contributions varied significantly, it's fairer to calculate each person's own subtotal and tip separately rather than splitting one combined total.
This varies by country and situation. Check local norms — in some places a service charge is already included in the bill, making an additional tip optional or unnecessary.
