Tip Calculator
Split a bill with a tip.
Use the Tip Calculator tool
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.
