## About

Calculate tips and split bills instantly. Choose your currency, add an optional service charge, and share the per-person breakdown.

## How to Use the Tip Calculator

Enter the bill total. Pick your country preset (US, UK, FR, JP, MX, CA, AU, KR, DE, IT, ES, BR, CN, HK) — the tip percentage and tax-base preference auto-fill but stay editable. Set the number of diners for an even split. The calculator outputs: tip amount, total per person, and a **rounded variant** (round up each per-person figure to the nearest dollar / nearest 100 JPY / nearest 5 HKD coin so nobody fumbles for coins). The **uneven split mode** lets you mark who ate what — useful when one person had the prix-fixe and three had appetizers; per-person totals weight by their share of the subtotal plus the same tip rate. **Service charge already on bill**: there is a toggle for that — if the bill already includes a 10-15% service charge (`service compris` in France, `gratuity included` in US group-of-6+ restaurants), the calculator zeros out additional tipping unless you want to add on top.

## Why Splitting Bills Accurately Saves Friendships

Tipping mistakes are usually directional, not arithmetic. The US over-tip when calculating on the tax-inclusive total (paying 20% x $43.40 = $8.68 rather than 20% x $40.00 = $8.00 when sales tax is 8.5%) — small per-meal but compounds. Travelers who tip in Japan or Korea risk insulting waiters; travelers who do not tip in the US under-pay the staff who depend on it. For group dining, asymmetric eaters get over-charged in a flat split — if one person had a $30 entree and another had a $12 salad, splitting a $50 bill 50/50 is a $19 transfer from the salad-eater. The calculator's per-item attribution makes the math fair without arguments. Tax-inclusive vs exclusive: EU bills show the full price you pay including 19-25% VAT, so tipping on the total tips on tax (intentional); US bills exclude sales tax, so tipping on the total adds 5-9% of bonus tip vs. tipping on subtotal.

## FAQ

### How does the service charge field work?

Enter a service charge % only when you want the calculator to add it on top of the bill before tip and splitting.

### Is tip calculated before or after service charge?

If you enter a service charge, it is added first. The tip % is then calculated on the new total.

### How is the per-person amount calculated?

Total (bill + optional service charge + tip) ÷ number of people, rounded to 2 decimal places.
