Calculate the tip amount, total bill, and how much each person pays when splitting. Choose from common tip percentages or enter your own.
A tip calculator computes how much gratuity to leave at a restaurant or for a service, based on the bill total and a chosen tip percentage. It can also split the total bill and tip evenly among any number of people, so everyone knows exactly what they owe.

Tip Calculator
Tipping norms vary considerably around the world. In most of continental Europe, tipping is appreciated but not obligatory — rounding up the bill or leaving 5–15% is the norm. In Bulgaria, 10% is a common gesture of appreciation for good service. In the US and Canada, 18–20% is the standard expected amount and is considered part of the server's compensation.
This calculator helps you work out the exact tip amount and how to split the bill evenly in a group — no mental arithmetic required at the table.
Splitting the Bill
Splitting the bill in a group is straightforward with the calculator: enter the total amount, choose your tip percentage, and set the number of people. The calculator shows exactly what each person owes — including their share of the tip. Results are accurate to the cent.
Most etiquette guides suggest tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, since the tax portion is not a service provided by the staff. However, in practice the difference is small and most people apply the tip to the full bill total. Our calculator is flexible — enter whichever amount you prefer.
Delivery and Services
For food delivery orders, the tip goes directly to the delivery driver. A typical tip is 10–15% of the order total, with a minimum of €1–2 for small orders. On platforms like Wolt, Glovo, and Bolt Food, you can add the tip at checkout — it goes entirely to the driver, not the platform. During bad weather or for long distances, consider tipping more generously.
A tip is a gesture of appreciation, not an obligation in most of Europe. If service was genuinely poor — long unexplained waits, wrong orders, rude staff — it is acceptable to leave less or nothing. For counter service or fast food, tipping is generally not expected.
Etiquette Nuances
In many countries, a service charge is automatically added to the bill (common in the EU and UK for larger groups) — in these cases, an additional tip is optional and usually just for exceptional service. Always check your receipt before adding a tip on top of an already-included service charge.
In Japan and South Korea, tipping is not customary and can occasionally be seen as awkward or even insulting in traditional settings, since excellent service is considered standard rather than something requiring extra payment. Always check local norms before assuming a percentage-based tip applies.
By Service Type
Sit-down restaurant
10–15% in Europe; 18–20% in North America. Always deserved for attentive service.
Bar / cocktails
€0.50–1 per drink, or 10–15% for table service at a bar.
Taxi / rideshare
10%, or round up to the nearest euro. Appreciate the driver.
Food delivery
10–15%, minimum €1–2. More in bad weather or for long distances.
Hotel porter
€1–2 per bag. At 5-star hotels, €2–5 per bag is appropriate.
Hairdresser / beautician
10–15% of the service total is the standard across Europe.
Tipping norms vary by country. In the US, 15–20% is standard. In the UK, 10–12.5% is common. In most of continental Europe, tipping is appreciated but not obligatory — rounding up the bill or leaving 5–10% is typical. In Bulgaria, 10% is a common tip for good service.
Enter the total bill, your desired tip percentage, and the number of people in your group. The calculator automatically divides both the tip and the total evenly. Each person sees exactly what they owe.
Most etiquette guides suggest tipping on the pre-tax (subtotal) amount, though in practice many people tip on the full post-tax total. Our calculator uses the bill amount you enter — enter whichever you prefer.
Tipping is ultimately discretionary. If the service was poor, you may leave a smaller tip (5–10%) or none at all. The 10% quick-pick button is available for cases where you want to leave something but service was below expectations.
Yes. For food delivery, a typical tip is 15–20% of the order total, or a flat €2–5 minimum. Enter your delivery total, select 15% or 20%, and see the exact tip amount to leave for your driver.
Check your receipt carefully — many restaurants, especially in Europe for larger groups, automatically add a service charge (often 10-15%). In that case, an additional tip is optional and typically reserved for exceptional service rather than expected as standard practice.
No — in countries like Japan and South Korea, tipping is not part of standard service culture and can occasionally cause confusion or be politely declined. Excellent service is expected as the baseline rather than something requiring extra payment, so skipping a tip in these countries is normal, not rude.
