Detailed guide

Fair, even splits every time

The per-person figures take the guesswork out of dividing a restaurant bill among friends. Turn on 'round up per person' for tidy amounts that avoid awkward change, and see how the total adjusts. Everything is calculated in your browser, so it works anywhere, even offline once loaded.

Typical tipping rates by country

Tipping customs vary a lot. In the United States, 15-20% is standard at sit-down restaurants, with 20% now common for good service. In Canada, 15-20% is also typical. In the UK, a 10-12.5% service charge is often added to the bill; if it isn't, 10% is customary. Across much of Europe, rounding up or leaving 5-10% is normal because service is included in wages. In Japan and South Korea, tipping is not expected and can cause confusion. When a service charge already appears on the bill, you don't need to tip again unless you want to.

Pre-tax or post-tax, and splitting fairly

Etiquette guides generally say to tip on the pre-tax amount, since tax isn't part of the service, though many people tip on the total for simplicity. The difference is small: on a $100 bill with 8% tax, a 20% tip is $20 pre-tax or $21.60 after tax. When splitting, dividing evenly is simplest, but if some people ordered much more, split the subtotal by what each person had and apply the same tip percentage to each share. Rounding up each person's share to a whole number avoids fiddly change and usually leaves a slightly bigger tip.

Choose 'By what they ordered', enter each person's items, and shared items are split evenly. Tax and tip are shared in proportion.
