How Much Should You Tip?

This tip calculator works as a restaurant tip calculator, bill split calculator, and gratuity calculator for diners, travellers, and anyone trying to quickly work out how much to leave and how to divide it fairly between a group.

Tipping norms vary significantly by country and service type. In the United States, 15% is the standard baseline for good restaurant service, 18–20% is expected for attentive or skilled service, and 20–25% is appropriate for exceptional service, complex orders, or large group tables where the server's workload is higher. Bartenders typically receive $1–2 per drink or 15–20% of the bar tab. Hotel housekeeping usually receives $2–5 per night, and taxi and rideshare drivers typically receive 10–15%.

In the United Kingdom, 10–12.5% is typical for sit-down restaurant service, though many UK restaurants add a service charge automatically — check your bill before adding an additional tip. In Australia and Japan, tipping is not standard practice and is sometimes considered impolite in Japan. In Canada and many European countries, 10–15% is common. When travelling internationally, checking local tipping customs before dining avoids awkward situations and ensures service workers are appropriately recognised.

For group dining, splitting the bill equally including tip is the simplest approach and avoids the friction of itemising individual orders. This calculator handles both individual and group scenarios, letting you set any tip percentage and divide the total by any number of diners.

Using a tip calculator before paying removes mental arithmetic pressure, especially useful after a long meal or when splitting unevenly across a large group. Some diners tip on the pre-tax subtotal; others tip on the full total including tax. Either is acceptable — enter whichever amount you prefer.
