Tipping Guide
No arguments at the table — just enter the bill, pick a tip, and see exactly what everyone owes.
Results update live as you type. No buttons to press — just enter the bill amount and everything calculates immediately.
Split the bill between 1 to 100 people. Each person's share — bill, tip, and total — is calculated separately so everyone knows exactly what to pay.
Quick-select from 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, and 25% presets, or tap Custom to enter any tip percentage — including unusual amounts like 12% or 22%.
When splitting, the calculator suggests a rounded-up per-person amount to avoid awkward change. Cleaner for the table, slightly more for the server.

Tipping and bill splitting come up more often than you think — here are the most common situations.
Split a restaurant bill fairly between friends without the awkward mental arithmetic. Know exactly what each person owes in seconds.
Calculate a fair tip for your driver and split the fare instantly when sharing a cab or rideshare with others.
Work out the right tip for your hairdresser, nail technician, or massage therapist without having to do the maths in your head.
Calculate a round tip for a bar tab or café bill — especially useful when the group has been adding drinks throughout the night.
In the US, 18–20% is the standard for sit-down restaurants with good service. 15% is acceptable for average service. In the UK and Australia, tipping is less expected — 10–12.5% for good service is the norm. In many Asian countries, tipping is not customary at all. The tipping guide in the calculator gives a quick reference by service level.
Most etiquette guides suggest tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, since the server didn't provide the service that the tax represents. However, most people tip on the total bill for simplicity — the difference is usually only a dollar or two. Enter whichever figure applies to your situation as the bill amount.
Move the decimal point one place left to get 10%, then double it. On a $45 bill: 10% = $4.50, so 20% = $9.00. For 15%: 10% ($4.50) + half of that ($2.25) = $6.75. For 18%: 10% + 8% (which is 10% minus a fifth). Use this calculator when precision matters — especially when splitting between a group.
When splitting a bill, the per-person total often produces an awkward figure like $23.67. The round-up suggestion shows what each person pays if they round up to the nearest dollar ($24.00) — easier to handle with cash and leaves a slightly more generous tip for the server. The total collected is shown so you can see the difference.
Equal splitting is faster and avoids awkwardness for casual group dinners where everyone ordered roughly similar amounts. If there is a significant disparity — one person had lobster and cocktails while another had a salad and water — paying for what you ordered is fairer. For itemised splits, calculate each person's subtotal individually and use this calculator to add tip to their portion.
For food delivery, $3–5 is a common baseline tip for small orders, or 10–15% for larger orders. Delivery drivers often work on very low base wages and cover their own fuel and vehicle costs, so tipping generously — especially for long distances or bad weather — is widely appreciated. Enter your delivery total and use 15% as a starting point.
In most countries, tipping is voluntary — but in the US, it is effectively a social and economic expectation in service industries. Many servers in the US earn below minimum wage with the expectation that tips will make up the difference. A service charge is sometimes added automatically for large groups (typically 6+ people). Always check the bill before adding an extra tip — you may already have one included.
Hotel housekeeping: $2–5 per night, left daily (not just at checkout, since different staff may clean each day). Bellhop: $1–2 per bag. Concierge: $5–20 for significant help arranging reservations or tickets. Room service: 15–20% if not already included. Valet parking: $2–5 when your car is returned.

Tipping customs vary dramatically by country, culture, and context. In the United States, tipping is deeply embedded in service culture — servers, bartenders, taxi drivers, hotel staff, and many others rely on tips as a significant portion of their income. In parts of Europe and Asia, tipping is less expected and sometimes even considered rude. Understanding the norms wherever you are helps you tip appropriately without over- or under-tipping.
United States & Canada: 18–20% at restaurants is the standard, with 15% considered the minimum for acceptable service. Bartenders typically receive $1–2 per drink. Hotel housekeeping $2–5 per night. Taxi and rideshare drivers 15–20%.
United Kingdom: 10–12.5% at restaurants, often already added as a “service charge” on the bill — check before adding more. Tipping in pubs is uncommon; taxi drivers typically receive the rounded-up fare.
Australia & New Zealand: Tipping is not obligatory but increasingly common. 10% at restaurants for good service. Rounding up a taxi fare is appreciated but not expected.
Europe: Varies widely. In Germany, rounding up the bill is typical. In France, a service charge is legally included. In Scandinavia, tipping is rarely expected. In Southern Europe, 5–10% is appreciated.
Asia: Tipping is not customary in Japan, South Korea, and China — and can even cause offence. In Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong, small tips are appreciated at tourist-oriented restaurants but not obligatory.
For casual group dinners, splitting equally is the most common approach — it avoids itemisation and keeps things simple. A good rule of thumb: if the total bill variance per person is less than $10, split equally. If one person ordered significantly more or less, use this calculator with each person's individual subtotal to calculate their share of the tip proportionally.
When the bill is split unequally, it is still polite to split the tip equally — since everyone benefited from the service equally. So each person's share of the tip is the total tip divided by the number of diners, regardless of what they ordered.
Restaurants: 18–20% in the US for sit-down dining. 15% for average service. Some high-end restaurants automatically add a service charge for groups of 6 or more — always check the bill first.
Food delivery: 10–15% of the order total, with a $3–5 minimum for small orders. Delivery drivers cover their own fuel and typically earn low base wages — delivery tip matters more than most people realise.
Taxis and rideshares: 15–20% in the US. Uber and Lyft both support in-app tipping after the ride. For exceptional service — helping with luggage, waiting in difficult conditions — go higher.
Hair salons: 15–20% for the stylist. If a separate person washes your hair, $3–5 for them. For a particularly complex or long service, 20% is a generous standard.
Hotel staff: $2–5 per night for housekeeping (leave it daily), $1–2 per bag for the bellhop, $2–5 for the valet when your car is returned.
Many restaurant point-of-sale systems now suggest 18%, 20%, and 25% as the default tip options on card readers. This represents a gradual upward shift from the historical 15% standard — driven partly by inflation eroding the real value of tips, and partly by the social normalisation of higher amounts through suggested tip prompts. In practice, leaving 18–20% for good service at a sit-down restaurant is broadly considered appropriate and fair in North America today.
