What your result means
The result is each person’s share of the bill plus tip. Tipping norms vary by country and service, so adjust the percentage to local custom rather than assuming one rate fits everywhere.
Why tipping customs can ruin a great meal
Nothing sours the end of dinner like fumbling the tip — especially abroad, where 20% is expected in one country and mildly insulting in another. Tipping is as much etiquette as arithmetic.
Splitting a bill fairly between friends is another quiet flashpoint. Sorting both in seconds means the evening ends on the meal, not the maths.
How it works
The tip is a percentage of the bill, added on top. The total is then divided equally by the number of people. Tipping customs vary by country — in the UK 10–15% is common when service isn't already included, while parts of the US expect 15–20%.
Frequently asked questions
Should I tip on the pre- or post-tax total?＋
Either is fine; many people tip on the pre-tax amount. Enter whichever bill figure you prefer to base the tip on.
What if service is already included?＋
Then set the tip to 0% — you've already paid it. An extra tip is optional for exceptional service.
