About Tipping

Tipping is a customary practice in many countries to show appreciation for service. Tip percentages vary by region and service type.

Common Tipping Standards
  • 15-20%: Standard restaurant service in the US and Canada
  • 10%: Restaurant service in some European countries
  • Rounding up: Common practice in many countries
  • 0%: Countries where tipping is not customary (like Japan)
Tip Calculation Formula
  1. Tip Amount = Bill Amount × (Tip Percentage ÷ 100)
  2. Total Amount = Bill Amount + Tip Amount + Tax (if not included in bill)
  3. Amount per Person = Total Amount ÷ Number of People
Tip Calculation Formulas:
Tip Amount = Bill Amount × (Tip Percentage ÷ 100)
Total Amount = Bill Amount + Tip Amount + Tax
Amount per Person = Total Amount ÷ Number of People

In the U.S. and Canada, a tip of 15–20% is considered standard. In some countries, tipping isn’t expected or is already included in the bill.

2. Can I round up the tip?

Yes, you can choose to round the tip amount to the nearest dollar using the "Round up" checkbox.

3. What if I’m dining with friends?
