Tipping norms: India vs US vs Europe
United States restaurant culture still leans on customer tips to supplement server wages — 15–20% on pre-tax food is a common guideline when service was good. India increasingly adds a service charge (often ~10%) directly on the bill; where that appears, extra tipping may be optional — many diners round up or leave modest cash for individual servers when service stood out. United Kingdom sometimes adds discretionary service; continental Europe often includes service in menu prices — rounding change is enough.
Hotels, cabs, salons: Upscale hotels may expect porters and housekeeping tips in cash; ride-hailing apps sometimes include tips in-app. Salons and spas may add service charge — read the bill. When in doubt, ask politely whether charge is included.
Modern debate: Workers’ advocates push for living wages so tips are not survival-critical; some venues move to service-inclusive pricing. This calculator stays neutral — it only splits numbers you choose.

Frequently asked questions
Is service charge the same as a tip?
Often not. In India many restaurants add a service charge to the bill; anything extra is voluntary. In the US gratuity expectations are usually higher—this tool only splits numbers you enter.
Should I tip on pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Customs differ. US guides often use pre-tax subtotal; this calculator tips whatever base amount you type into the bill field.
How does bill splitting work?
We divide the grand total (bill plus tip after any rounding options you choose) by the number of people.
Does changing currency change the tip percentage?
No. Currency only changes symbols and grouping—the same numeric percent applies.
Can I use this for non-restaurant sharing?
Yes—any subtotal you treat as the bill can be split the same way.
