Enter the bill amount and pick a tip percentage — common rates are pre-set as buttons (15% in the US for adequate service, 18-20% for good, 25%+ for excellent), or type a custom percentage for cultures where 10% or no tip at all is the norm. Set the number of people and the calculator splits the total evenly per head.

How the Tip Calculator Works

The 'round up' option bumps the per-person amount up to the next whole dollar (or whole local-currency unit) — useful when you want to avoid messing about with coins. All math is done in floating-point, then rounded to two decimal places at display time, so totals always tally within a cent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the standard tip in the US?

15% has historically been the baseline for adequate service, with 18-20% expected for good service. Many restaurants now suggest 20-25% on the bill itself. Outside the US norms vary widely from 0% (Japan) to 10% (much of Europe).

Should the tip be calculated before or after tax?

Convention is on the pre-tax subtotal, but many people just tip on the total for simplicity. The calculator uses whatever bill amount you enter, so feed it whichever figure matches your local etiquette.

How does the round-up option work?

Per-person amount is rounded up to the next whole dollar (or local-currency unit). The total tip therefore exceeds the percentage slightly — handy if you want clean cash amounts.

Does splitting handle uneven amounts when dividing by people?

The total is divided evenly. Last-cent rounding errors are absorbed by the per-person figure, so the sum may be 1-2 cents off the original total — a tiny over-tip rather than under.
