In the United States and Canada, 15-20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for good service. For exceptional service, 20-25% is appropriate. For below-average service, 10% is common. In many European countries, a service charge is already included — check your bill for "service compris" or "servizio incluso." In Japan and South Korea, tipping is not customary and may be politely refused. Always research local customs when traveling — this calculator's global tipping guide table provides a quick reference.
Pre-tax is the standard recommendation. The tip is meant to reward service, not to be calculated on government taxes. However, many people tip on the post-tax total for simplicity, and the difference is usually small. For a $50 meal with 8% tax ($4), tipping 20% pre-tax = $10.00 vs post-tax = $10.80 — a difference of only $0.80. Either approach is acceptable in casual dining; for large groups or fine dining, pre-tax is considered more proper etiquette.
There are two common methods: (1) Equal split: Divide the total (bill + tip) by the number of people. Each person pays the same amount regardless of what they ordered. (2) Itemized split: Each person pays for their own items plus an equal share of shared items and tip. This calculator uses the equal split method — simply enter the number of people and see exactly what each person owes. For itemized splitting, calculate each person's subtotal separately and apply the tip percentage individually.
Exact: No rounding — precise to the cent. Round Total: Rounds the final total (bill + tip) to the nearest dollar. Round Tip: Rounds only the tip amount to the nearest dollar. Round Per Person: Rounds each person's share to the nearest dollar. Rounding is helpful for cash payments where dealing with coins is inconvenient. Choose "Exact" for credit card payments where precision matters.
For parties of 6 or more, many restaurants automatically add an 18-20% gratuity (service charge) to the bill — check before adding an additional tip. If gratuity is already included, no additional tip is expected, though you may add extra for exceptional service. This calculator handles groups of any size up to 100 people. Simply enter the total bill, select your tip percentage, and enter the group size. The per-person breakdown shows exactly what each guest owes.
Split bills fairly, tip appropriately, and never second-guess your math again.
