About this tool: Tip calculator
Tipping customs differ by country. In some places 10% is generous, in others 15% to 20% is expected, and in much of Europe rounding up is common. The calculator works with any percentage, so you can use the local custom.
Splitting the bill is included: the total with tip is divided equally between the people you enter.
Formula
Tip = bill × tip% ÷ 100. Total = bill + tip. Each person pays = total ÷ number of people.
Worked example
A bill of 80 with a 10% tip for 2 people: tip 8, total 88, so each person pays 44 and leaves 4 in tips.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip?
It depends on the country and the service. Check the local custom: in many European countries a service charge is already included, and in the United States 15% to 20% is normal.
Is the tip calculated on the bill with or without VAT?
Usually on the bill as printed, which includes VAT. Enter that amount.
Can I split the bill unevenly?
This tool splits equally. For uneven shares, calculate each person's part of the bill and tip it separately.
