How to Calculate a Tip
Calculating a tip is straightforward: multiply your bill by the tip percentage. For an $85 bill with an 18% tip, the math is $85 × 0.18 = $15.30 tip. Add that to the bill for a grand total of $100.30. If splitting between 4 people, each person owes $25.08.
Tipping Standards by Country
Tipping culture varies widely around the world. In the United States and Canada, tipping 15–20% is expected at restaurants — it is a significant part of server income. In the UK, 10–12.5% is common. In Australia, tipping is appreciated but not required — 10% is generous. In Japan and South Korea, tipping is considered rude and may even be refused.
Pre-Tax vs Post-Tax Tipping
Etiquette experts generally recommend tipping on the pre-tax amount, since the server did not "earn" the tax. However, tipping on the total post-tax bill is very common and makes mental math easier. The difference is usually less than a dollar on a typical restaurant bill.
Splitting the Bill Fairly
When splitting equally, divide the grand total (bill + tip + tax) by the number of people. Use the rounding option in this calculator for easy cash payments — rounding up slightly benefits the server. For unequal splits, calculate each person's share of the bill first, then add the proportional tip.
When Service Charge Is Included
Many restaurants add an automatic service charge (often 15–20%) for large groups. If you see "gratuity included" or "service charge" on your bill, you are not required to tip again. However, if the service was truly outstanding, a small additional amount is always appreciated.
