What it is for
Splitting a bill between several people and working out the tip is an easy operation that turns awkward exactly when you need it: at the table, in a hurry, with people waiting. The calculator handles the arithmetic and, more to the point, the split per person.
Tipping customs vary enormously by country, and it is worth checking before travelling. In the United States it is treated as part of staff wages and not leaving one reads as an insult, with rates around 18 to 20%. Across much of Europe it is a voluntary rounding up, and in Japan it can be outright uncomfortable.
The tool calculates the tip on the total, the final amount, and what each diner owes if split evenly.
How it works
- Enter the total bill amount.
- Specify the tip percentage you want to leave and the number of people.
- The tool calculates the tip, the total, and how much each person owes.
When to use it
Travelling abroad
Applying the country’s customary percentage without doing mental arithmetic in another currency.
Business meals
Getting the exact breakdown to justify the expense.
Practical tips
- The split is even. If someone ordered considerably more, you will have to adjust by hand.
- Check whether the bill already includes a service charge: an additional tip is usually unnecessary then.
- In many places a cash tip is appreciated, because it reaches the staff in full.
- As a benchmark, 10% is common in Spain, but it is indicative and always voluntary.
Frequently asked questions
Is the per-person split always exact?
The result is calculated by dividing the total equally among diners; if you want to split it differently based on what each person ordered, you'll need to adjust it manually.
What tip percentage is typical?
It varies a lot by country and local custom; in many places it's around 10%, but it's purely a guideline.
