About the Tip Calculator
Tezmy's Tip Calculator does the restaurant maths for you. Enter the bill, pick a tip percentage (or type your own) and the number of people, and see the tip, the total and exactly what each person owes. You can round each share up to a whole number to make paying in cash easier. It works for restaurants, taxis, delivery, hairdressers and anywhere else you tip.

How much to tip around the world
Customs change, so treat these as a rough guide and check the bill for a service charge before adding a tip.
- USA and Canada: 15–20% in restaurants is standard, more for great service.
- UK and Ireland: about 10–12.5%; check the bill, as service is often already added.
- Europe: small tips or rounding up are common; service is usually included.
- Japan and South Korea: tipping isn't expected and can even confuse staff.
- India, Pakistan and the Gulf: around 10% is common where no service charge is added.
Quick tip maths
For 10%, move the decimal point one place left: 10% of 64.00 is 6.40. Double it for 20% (12.80), or add half of it for 15% (9.60). The calculator does this instantly for any percentage and any number of people.
Splitting the bill fairly
Enter how many people are paying to see each share of the total. Tick round up so everyone pays a whole amount, which is easier with cash; the extra goes to the tip. If people ordered very different amounts, work out each person's items first and use the calculator for their part.
Tip before or after tax?
In the USA, many people tip on the amount before tax, but tipping on the total is common and simpler. Either way, the difference is small. Enter whichever amount you prefer as the bill. If a service charge is already on the bill, you don't need to add a full tip on top. If the bill comes with a tax, the Percentage Calculator works out both extras. Use the Discount Calculator when a voucher takes money off first, and the Salary Calculator if you want to see what regular tips add to your monthly pay.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip?
It depends on the country. In the US, 15–20% is standard at restaurants. In the UK and much of Europe, 10–12.5% is common and service is sometimes already included. In Japan, tipping isn't expected.
How do I calculate a 20% tip quickly?
Move the decimal point one place left to get 10%, then double it. On a $45 bill, 10% is $4.50, so 20% is $9.00.
Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?
Traditionally the tip is based on the amount before tax, but many people tip on the total for simplicity. Enter whichever amount you prefer.
How does rounding up work?
Each person's share is rounded up to the next whole amount, and the extra goes to the tip. It makes paying in cash much easier.
Can I split a bill without a tip?
Yes. Set the tip to 0% and enter the number of people to split the bill evenly.
How do I split a bill between friends?
Enter the total bill, the tip percentage and the number of people. The calculator shows what each person pays, with the tip included.
How do I calculate a 15% tip?
Take 10% of the bill and add half of that again. For a 40.00 bill: 4.00 + 2.00 = 6.00 tip.
