How much should I tip?

It depends entirely on where you are and the kind of service. In the United States, 15-20% is usual for a sit-down restaurant. In the United Kingdom and much of Europe, 10% or rounding up the bill is common, and a service charge may already be included. In Japan, Korea and several other countries, tipping is not expected and can even seem odd. This page only does the arithmetic; the percentage is yours to choose.

What does Round the tip up do?

It rounds the tip itself up to the nearest whole unit of your currency before adding it to the bill, which some people prefer to a tip with cents in it.

How is the split worked out?

The total, including the tip, is divided evenly by the number of people. The tip itself is also shown split evenly, in case you want to see just that part.

Does it handle other currencies?

Yes. It works with plain numbers, so the amount is in whatever currency you are paying in; the page does not add a currency symbol.

How to use

Enter the bill amount.
Press a quick percent (10, 15, 18, 20, 25) or type your own in Custom.
To split the bill, enter how many people are paying. Each person's share and their share of the tip are shown.
Tick Round the tip up to a whole amount if you would rather tip a clean number than the exact percentage.

Examples

$50.00 bill, 20% tip, 1 person

→ Tip $10.00, total $60.00

50 × 0.20 = 10.

$100.00 bill, 15% tip, split between 4

→ Tip $15.00, total $115.00, $28.75 each, $3.75 tip each

115 ÷ 4 = 28.75.

$19.99 bill, 18% tip

→ Tip $3.60, total $23.59

Rounded to the cent, without the floating-point noise plain multiplication can leave.

How it works

The tip is the bill times the percent, divided by 100, computed with the decimal.js library so that amounts such as $19.99 do not pick up binary-rounding error, and then rounded to the cent (half up). When Round the tip up is ticked, the tip is rounded up to a whole currency unit before the total and the split are worked out from it. The per-person figures divide the total, and the tip, evenly by the number of people, each also rounded to the cent.

This page does the arithmetic only. What to tip is a matter of place and custom, not something the page can know, so it is never suggested as a single right answer.
