How to use Tip
- 1Pick the bill currency and the common local tip rate (e.g. restaurant 10%–15%, delivery 0%–10%).
- 2Enter the bill amount, or enter the number of people so the tool splits the bill before tipping.
- 3See the tip due, the total with tip, and each person's share when split by headcount.
How to calculate a tip? Logic and common rates
tip = bill × tip rate; total = bill + tipA tip is an extra gratuity for service staff, usually a percentage of the bill. Rates vary widely by country and setting: North American restaurants commonly use 15%–20%, while Japan and South Korea generally don't expect tips.
The sensible approach is to fix the local custom rate first, then multiply by the pre- or post-tax amount. For group dining, split the bill per person first, then tip each share, so nobody overpays by averaging.
This tool shows both the total-based and per-person results, handy for travel, team events, and dinners—you can settle who owes what in minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Should I tip on pre-tax or post-tax?
Post-tax is more common in most regions, but some use the pre-tax subtotal. When unsure, base it on the subtotal shown and confirm with the establishment before paying.
How do I split a tip fairly among a group?
Fairest is each person tips on their own spend plus a share of shared items; simply dividing the total tip by headcount is easier but makes big spenders subsidize the rest.
Where is tipping actually not expected?
Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia often include service in the bill, so extra tipping is uncommon; some European countries add a service charge, removing the need to tip separately.
