Tip Calculator — Split Bills with Tip

Calculate tips and split restaurant bills between any number of people.

About this calculator

A tip calculator works out how much gratuity to add to a restaurant bill and how to split the total fairly between a group of diners. Tipping customs vary widely by country: 15–20% is standard in the US, 10–15% in the UK and India where service charge is not already included, and 0% in Japan where tipping is considered insulting.

Beyond restaurants, tip calculators are equally useful for bars, taxis, hotel staff, hairdressers, and food delivery — anywhere a small percentage gratuity is customary on top of a base price.

Worked example

Inputs: Bill: ₹3,200 · Tip: 15% · Split between 4 people

  1. Tip = 3,200 × 15% = ₹480
  2. Total = 3,200 + 480 = ₹3,680
  3. Per person = 3,680 ÷ 4 = ₹920

Frequently asked questions

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?

Convention varies. In the US most diners tip on the post-tax (final) total. In Europe and Asia where VAT/GST is included in menu prices, tipping is on the final shown total. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is more "mathematically correct" (you are tipping the server, not the government) but is uncommon.

Do I need to tip if a service charge is added?

Generally no. If your bill already shows a "service charge" of 10% or more, the gratuity has been included and any additional tip is optional. Note that "service charge" in India is sometimes pocketed by the restaurant rather than passed to staff — leaving cash directly with your server ensures it reaches them.
