The bill arrives, everyone's reaching for their phone, and someone has to work out 18% split five ways. This free tip calculator does it in a couple of taps. Enter the bill, choose a tip percentage (or type your own), set the number of people, and you'll instantly see the tip amount, the total, and exactly what each person owes. Tick "round up" to round each person's share up to the next whole unit so nobody's hunting for coins, and the calculator shows the actual tip that results. You can also enter the tax on the bill to tip on the pre-tax amount, which some etiquette guides in the US and Canada recommend. Because tipping customs vary a lot between the countries our readers live in, we've included a short guide below covering the US, UK, Canada, Australia and Germany. It reflects common practice, not rules, so always check your bill for an included service charge first, since many UK restaurants add one automatically. Currencies include US, Canadian and Australian dollars, pounds and euros. The calculator runs entirely on your phone or computer and saves nothing.

Tipping guide by country (common practice)
| Country | Restaurants |
|---|---|
| United States | 15–20% is standard for table service; more for great service. |
| Canada | Similar to the US, typically 15–20%. |
| United Kingdom | 10–15% if no service charge is on the bill; many add 12.5% automatically. |
| Germany | Round up or add about 5–10%, usually told to the server when paying. |
| Australia | Not expected, as staff earn a higher minimum wage; around 10% for excellent service is appreciated. |
FAQ
Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?
Etiquette guides often suggest the pre-tax amount in the US and Canada, but many people tip on the total. Enter the tax amount to tip on the pre-tax figure.
What if a service charge is already included?
Then a further tip is usually optional. Check the bill, especially in the UK and in restaurants with large-group policies.
How does round up work?
Each person’s share is rounded up to the next whole currency unit, and the tip shown is adjusted to match.
Does it save my bill?
No. It all runs on your device.
