About this calculator
This tip calculator adds the two things that make splitting real bills easier: quick buttons for the usual tip percentages and a rounding option. Choose a currency, enter the bill, tap a service-quality percentage, set the number of people and decide whether to round the per-person amount up.
Rounding is useful when you are paying in cash. If everyone pays a round number, nobody needs change, and the extra goes to the waiter as tip. The calculator shows exactly how much extra that is.
How to use it
- Choose a Currency and enter the Bill Amount.
- Tap a Tip % button, or enter a custom percentage.
- Set the Number of People.
- Choose a Round to nearest amount if you want round shares.
- Read the tip, total, per-person amount and the extra from rounding.
Calculation with rounding
Tip = Bill × Tip %, Total = Bill + Tip, Per person = Total ÷ People. With rounding, the per-person amount is rounded up to the nearest 1, 5 or 10, and the extra collected is Rounded share × People − Total.
Worked example
Bill $120, tip 15%, four people, round up to nearest $1
| Tip | $18.00 |
| Total | $138.00 |
| Per person before rounding | $34.50 |
| Per person after rounding | $35 |
| Total collected | $140 ($2 extra tip) |
Tips and common mistakes
- The guide on the page maps service quality to a percentage: 15% for good, 18 to 20% for very good, 25% for exceptional.
- Round up only when you are happy for the extra to go to the staff.
- Agree the split before the bill arrives if people ordered very differently.
- Use the custom percentage for local norms, such as 10% in much of Europe.
- Check for an automatic gratuity on large groups.
Frequently asked questions
What is a standard tip?
In the US, 15 to 20% in restaurants. Elsewhere it is often lower or included in the bill.
How does rounding work?
The per-person amount goes up to the next whole unit you choose, and the extra becomes extra tip.
Can I split unevenly?
This calculator splits evenly. For uneven bills, work out each person's share of the pre-tip bill first.
Is tip calculated before tax?
The tool applies the percentage to the bill amount you enter, so enter the pre-tax figure if you want pre-tax tipping.
Can I use it for other currencies?
Yes, choose dollars, rupees, pounds or euros.
What if a service charge is included?
Then you may not need to tip. Enter 0%.
