Take the Guesswork Out of Tipping
Tipping conventions vary widely by country, service type and occasion. In the United States, 15–20% is standard at sit-down restaurants; in the UK, 10–12.5% is common; in Japan and much of East Asia, tipping is not customary. Even when you know the right percentage, calculating a precise tip amount, dividing it among a group and rounding to a sensible number is a distraction you don't need at the end of a meal.
The tip calculator handles all of it. Enter the bill, pick a percentage, set the party size and you have everything you need: tip amount, new total and per-person share. Enable rounding if you're paying cash and want to avoid dealing in coins.
