How to use the tip splitter

- Pick a tip percentage with the quick buttons or type a custom value.
- Set the number of people. The tip, total and per-person amounts update instantly.
Tipping around the world
Tipping culture varies more than travelers expect, and getting it wrong is either an awkward overpayment or an accidental insult. In the United States, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurants — servers' base wages assume tips. Canada follows the same pattern. In most of Europe, service is included in menu prices by law or custom; rounding up the bill or leaving 5–10% for good service is a polite gesture, not an obligation. In Japan and South Korea, tipping is generally not practiced and can even be refused. In Australia and New Zealand, tipping is uncommon but appreciated for exceptional service. When in doubt, ask a local — or check whether your bill already includes a "service charge" line, which is common for groups everywhere.
Splitting fairly
Equal splitting is the default among friends, but it isn't always fair — if one person ordered the lobster and another had a salad, an even split quietly subsidizes the lobster. Two practical alternatives: split the bill proportionally to what each person ordered, or have each person pay for their own items plus a shared portion of the tip. The per-person numbers here assume an equal split; adjust the tip percentage if the group agrees on something different. For very uneven bills, the honest conversation beats any calculator.
Quick tip math (for when you're offline)
The trick: 10% of any bill is just the amount with the decimal moved one place left. For 84.50, that's 8.45. A 15% tip is 10% plus half of that (8.45 + 4.23 ≈ 12.68); a 20% tip is 10% doubled (≈ 16.90). Once you internalize the 10% move, any percentage becomes two seconds of mental math — this calculator is for when you'd rather not do math at the table.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip?
It depends on the country. In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for restaurant service; in Canada, 15–20% is common. In most of Europe, service is usually included and rounding up or 5–10% is a polite extra. In Japan and South Korea, tipping is generally not practiced. Check local customs.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Custom in the US is to tip on the pre-tax amount. Enter the pre-tax subtotal for the most standard result — but no one will measure; the calculator works with whatever amount you enter.
How does splitting work?
The total (bill + tip) is divided equally by the number of people. The result shows each person's total share and their share of the tip.
Does it work with any currency?
Yes — the calculator is currency-agnostic. Enter amounts in dollars, euros, pounds or anything else; results come out in the same unit.
