TipCalculator
Work out the tip, split the bill and know what's normal, whether you're at a restaurant at home or abroad.
How it works
To work out a tip, multiply the bill by the percentage. For 18% on a $64 bill, that's 64 × 0.18 = $11.52, so the total is $75.52. A quick mental shortcut: find 10% by moving the decimal point one place left, then double it for 20%.
What counts as normal varies a lot. In the US, 15–20% is standard at sit-down restaurants. In the UK a 10–12.5% service charge is often added to the bill already. In Japan, tipping can even cause confusion. tipjar.tools will cover the custom for each country and each service, with sources and the date each page was last checked.
It's also for the people who receive the tips: tip-out and tip pool calculators for restaurant staff, and tipped wage calculators. Everything runs in your browser and works offline.

Questions
Should you tip before or after tax?
Etiquette guides usually say to tip on the pre-tax amount, but many people tip on the total for simplicity. The difference is usually small.
How do I split a bill with a tip?
Add the tip to the bill total first, then divide by the number of people. If people ordered very different amounts, split by item instead.
