About Tip Calculator
Tipping norms vary enormously and no calculator can tell you the right number. In the US, 18–20% is standard for table service; in much of Europe, rounding up or 5–10% is normal; in Japan tipping can cause offense. The rounding option settles the awkward pence when splitting.
How to use it
- Enter bill amount, tip and split between.

Questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?
Convention in the US is pre-tax, though many people tip on the total because it is simpler. The difference on a $100 bill is a couple of dollars.
What does the currency option change?
It offers 7 choices — USD $, GBP £, EUR € and INR ₹ and more. The default is USD $, which suits most cases; change it when your input or your destination calls for something specific.
What are the limits on tip?
It accepts 0 to 30%, starting at 15%. The other numeric controls have their own ranges: split between 1–100.
Is the arithmetic exact?
It uses double-precision floating point — about 15 significant figures, far more than the inputs justify. Displayed rounding is cosmetic; the underlying numbers are not rounded between steps, so chained results do not drift.
