How much is customary where

In the United States 15–20% is expected in restaurants and often not included in the bill. In much of Europe service is already added and rounding up is enough. In Japan and South Korea a tip can be refused outright. When in doubt, look for «service» on the bill before adding anything.

Splitting the bill

Calculate the total with the tip and divide by the number of people — that keeps the tip proportional. Splitting the bill first and adding a tip to each share gives the same result only when everyone tips the same percentage.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a 15% tip?

Put 15 in the percentage field and the bill in the second one: the answer is the tip amount.

How do I get the total with the tip?

Use the «Add a percentage» tab: the bill first, then the tip percentage. The result is what you hand over.

Should I tip on the pre-tax amount?

The custom in the United States is to tip on the pre-tax total, though many people simply use the final line. Either way, take the number from the bill and put it in the second field.
