How much to tip, where

In the US and Canada, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for table service, with 18–20% now common in cities; counter service is optional, often a dollar or two. Much of Europe includes service in the price — rounding up or adding 5–10% is a courtesy, not an obligation — and in Japan tipping isn’t practiced at all. When in doubt abroad, check the bill for a service charge first so you don’t tip twice.

Splitting the bill without the awkward math

The cleanest split is bill plus tip divided evenly — that’s what this calculator shows per person, so nobody is doing long division at the table. If you want the tip on the pre-tax amount, enter the pre-tax bill and add the tax back mentally; if close-enough is fine, tip on the total. For uneven orders (one person had the steak), split the shared items evenly and let outliers add the difference.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I tip?

In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is typical for table service. The presets cover the common range; adjust to your local custom.

Does it split tax too?

It splits the full bill you enter plus the tip evenly between the number of people you set, so include tax in the bill amount if you want it shared.
