What this tip calculator does

Tip Calculator adds a chosen percentage to the bill, divides the result by the number of people and shows both the tip and the total. An optional rounding switch rounds the final amount up to a whole unit of currency, which is useful when paying in cash.

Tipping customs vary widely by country and situation, and the tool does not advise an amount. Check local norms and whether a service charge is already included. Currency codes only change the display formatting; no exchange rate is applied.

Why use it

  • Split a restaurant bill accurately.
  • See the tip amount separately from the total.
  • Round a cash payment without doing mental arithmetic.

  1. 1Enter the bill amount.
  2. 2Choose a tip percentage.

  4. 4Read the tip, total and per-person shares.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I tip?
There is no universal answer. Follow local custom and check whether service is already included.
Does it handle tax?
Enter the amount you want to tip on. Some people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, others on the total.
Why does rounding change the per-person amount?
Rounding applies to the total, and that rounded total is then split between people.
Are currency codes converted?
No. They only change how the numbers are formatted.
