Tip Calculator - Split the Bill and Round It Up
Tip calculator
What this calculator does
Three numbers matter at the end of a meal: what to leave, what the bill comes to, and what each person hands over. This page gives all three at once, in the currency of the language you are reading, and the rounding works the way people actually round.
How to use it
- 1 Type the bill amount.
- 2 Drag the rate or press one of the usual percentages.
- 3 Set how many people are splitting, and tick rounding if you want a whole number on the table.
There is no universal tip rate
A tip rate is a local custom, not a rule, and the same 15% that is normal in one country is generous in another and refused in a third. The table below is a rough guide rather than an instruction; service charges already added to the bill also change the answer.
| Where | Usual range |
|---|---|
| United States and Canada | 15–20% |
| Most of Europe | 5–10% |
| Türkiye | 10% |
| Japan and South Korea | 0% |
Rounding moves the tip, not the total
When you round up, the total goes to the next whole number and the difference is added to the tip. The other way round would produce a number nobody uses: a tip of exactly 70 with a total of 448.50 helps no one at the table. Rounding the thing you hand over is the point.
Why the per-person figure is not rounded up
Because it would collect more than the bill. Splitting 100 between three gives 33.33 each, and asking everyone for 33.34 hands over a cent too much. The page shows the plain division and names how many people it was divided between, so the table can settle the last coin the way it likes.
The currency follows the language
The symbol on this page comes from the language you are reading it in, using the same currency map as the loan and discount calculators on this site. A fixed dollar sign would be wrong in thirteen of the fourteen languages. No amount you type is sent anywhere; the arithmetic runs in the page.
