Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard tipping percentage in the United States?
In the United States, the standard tipping percentage is typically 15-20% of the bill amount. Our calculator defaults to 18%, which is a common middle ground.
Do I need to tip in all countries?
No, tipping customs vary significantly by country. In some countries like Japan, tipping is not customary and may even be considered rude. In others like France, service charges are often included in the bill. Our calculator helps you navigate these differences.
How do I split the bill with multiple people?
Simply enter the total bill amount and specify the number of people splitting the bill. The calculator will automatically divide the total (including tip) by the number of people.
What does rounding the per-person total mean?
Rounding options allow you to adjust the per-person total to make it easier to split. For example, rounding to the nearest 0.50 or 1.00 can make it simpler to divide the bill without dealing with small change.
