A note on tipping norms
Appropriate tip percentages vary significantly by country, and even by context within the same country — restaurant service, delivery, and other situations often carry different expectations. This tool doesn't assume a "correct" default, since there genuinely isn't a universal one; it simply computes whatever percentage you enter accurately.

For working out a discount or a percentage change instead, the site's Percentage Calculator covers that directly.
Frequently asked questions
+Is this tip calculator really free, with no sign up?
Yes. There's no account and no limit on how many times you can use it.
+How does splitting the bill actually work?
The total bill plus tip is divided evenly across the number of people you specify — a straightforward even split, not itemized per person's individual order.
+What's a typical tip percentage?
This varies a lot by country and context — commonly somewhere between 15–20% at US restaurants for standard service, though local norms differ significantly elsewhere and this tool doesn't assume any particular default is "correct" for your situation.
+Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything is computed directly in your browser.
