About the Tip Calculator
This tip calculator works out the gratuity at whatever percentage you choose, adds it to the bill and divides the total between however many people are paying. It also rounds to a tidy per-person figure, which is usually what actually gets paid.
A tip calculator settles the two questions at the end of a meal at once: how much to leave, and what each person owes. Enter the bill, pick a percentage and set the number of people — the per-person total appears immediately, with no mental arithmetic in a noisy restaurant.
Custom percentages matter because convention varies. Roughly 15 to 20% is standard in the United States, 10 to 15% is common in the UK and much of Europe, and in Japan tipping can be unwelcome. Set the figure that fits where you are rather than accepting a preset.
Rounding is handled deliberately: the split is nudged to a clean amount so nobody is asked for £14.37. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing is stored.
