Tip Calculator
Tip amount, total bill, and an even split — done before the table starts arguing about it.
How is a tip calculated?
A tip is simply a percentage of the bill, added on top — the only real decision is which percentage and which amount to base it on. In the UK, 10-12.5% is common in restaurants when a service charge isn't already included, and it's worth checking your bill first since many restaurants add a discretionary service charge automatically, at which point an extra tip usually isn't expected. This calculator also splits the total evenly across any number of people, for the common case where everyone's sharing the cost equally.
Frequently asked questions
Is tipping standard in the UK?
Around 10-12.5% is common in UK restaurants when service isn't already included — always check your bill first, since many restaurants add a discretionary service charge automatically, in which case an extra tip isn't expected.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Conventions vary by country and personal preference — some tip on the subtotal before tax, others on the final total. This calculator lets you enter whichever bill amount you're working from.
How do I split a bill fairly with different orders?
For a truly fair split with uneven orders, each person's share should be based on what they actually ordered, not an even split — this calculator handles the common even-split case; uneven splits need working out per item.
