About this tool
A tip calculator applies a percentage to a bill and optionally splits the total per person. Defaults follow common norms: higher in the US, modest in Germany and India, and 0% in Japan where service is usually included.
You can override the percent anytime. Round shared amounts in a way your group agrees on — the tool shows equal splits as a starting point.
Tax-inclusive vs exclusive bills differ by venue; when VAT/GST is separate, compute tip on the base your local custom uses.
Formula
Tip = bill × (percent ÷ 100)Per person = (bill + tip) ÷ people
How it is calculated
- Enter the bill, tip percent, and party size.
- Tip is a simple percentage.
- Divide the total by the number of people.
- If your country, school or provider uses different rules, pick another option in the “Standard” menu at the top.
Questions
Pre-tax or post-tax?
US custom is often pre-tax; many apps use the total. This calculator uses the number you type.
When should I change the “Standard” setting?
When the rules you work with differ from the default chosen for your language. Options on this page: United States (15–20%); Germany (5–10% or included); India (5–10%); Japan (usually 0%). The formula, steps and result update to match your choice.
