Tip per person12.00
How this calculation works
The tip is the bill multiplied by the tip percentage divided by 100.
The total is the bill plus the tip.
Per person divides the total by the number of people; the per-person tip divides just the tip the same way.
Worked example
A bill of 120 with a 20% tip split between 4 people is a 24 tip, a total of 144, and 36 each.
Tipping customs around the world
Tipping norms vary enormously. A rough guide for restaurants:
Region
Typical tip
Note
United States
15–20%
Expected; servers rely on tips
Canada
15–20%
Similar to the US
United Kingdom
10–15%
Check for a service charge first
Much of Europe
5–10% / round up
Often already included
Japan / South Korea
None
Tipping can cause confusion
Australia
0–10%
Not expected, appreciated
Service charge vs. tip
Many bills, especially for large groups or in Europe, already add a "service charge" or "gratuity". If one is present, an additional tip is optional — check the bill before adding more so you do not pay twice.
Pre-tax or post-tax?
Customs differ. Many people calculate the tip on the pre-tax subtotal, though tipping on the full total is also common and slightly more generous. Enter whichever figure you prefer as the bill.
Frequently asked questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?
Customs differ. Many people tip on the pre-tax amount, but tipping on the full total is also common. Enter whichever bill figure you prefer as the base.
How much should I tip?
It depends on the country and service. In the US 15–20% is typical for restaurants; in much of Europe and Asia a smaller tip or none at all is normal. Set the percentage to match local custom.
Can it split unevenly?
This version splits equally. For an uneven split, calculate the total here and divide the shares manually.
How much should I tip in the US?
For sit-down restaurants, 15% is standard, 18–20% for good service. Servers are often paid a low base wage and depend on tips, so tipping is expected.
Do I tip on the tax?
Either convention is fine. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is common; tipping on the full post-tax total is slightly more generous. Choose one and enter that amount.
Is tipping expected in Japan or Korea?
No. Good service is the standard and tips are not customary; leaving extra cash can even cause confusion. A sincere thank-you is the norm.
Should I tip for delivery or takeaway?
For delivery, a few dollars or around 10% is common in tipping cultures. For takeaway there is usually no expectation, though a small tip is a kind gesture.
