Tip and bill split calculator
Enter the bill total, the tip percentage and the number of people. If someone pays double, use the shares field instead of a headcount.
Check whether the bill already includes a service charge — some places add it automatically, and tipping on top means paying twice for the same thing.
Frequently asked questions
What is a normal tip?
In Europe 5 to 10% in a restaurant is common, with 15% for very good service. In the United States 18–20% is expected; in Japan tipping is not done at all.
Is the tip calculated before or after tax?
Common practice is on the displayed total, which already includes tax. The difference is small on small bills.
How do we split when one drank and another did not?
The fairest way is to subtract individual drinks first, then split the rest. The shares field helps if someone takes a larger portion.
