Dinner's over and the check arrives. Use this. Enter the total, pick a tip percentage, split among friends, and optionally round up. Done.
Tipping customs vary dramatically around the world. Using the wrong amount can be seen as rude or wasteful. Here is a quick reference for common travel destinations.
| Country | Restaurants | Bars | Taxis | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 15-20% | $1-2 per drink | 10-15% | Service not included; tips expected |
| Canada | 15-18% | 15-18% | 10-15% | Similar to US; some tips included in Quebec |
| United Kingdom | 10-12.5% | Round up | Round up | Service charge often included; check bill |
| Japan | None | None | None | Tipping can be seen as insulting |
| Australia | 10% (optional) | Round up | Round up | Hospitality staff paid well; tips not required |
| France | 5-10% (optional) | Round up | 5-10% | Service charge included (15% service compris) |
| Germany | 5-10% | Round up | 5-10% | Round up to nearest euro; no double tipping |
| Mexico | 10-15% | 10-15% | None | Some restaurants include 15% propina; check bill |
| India | 10% | 10% | None | Service charge often included; tip for extra service |
| Brazil | 10% | 10% | None | 10% service charge always included (gorjeta) |
When traveling, always check if a service charge is already included in the bill. In the US, tips are expected and essential for service workers' income. In many European and Asian countries, service is included and tipping is optional or discouraged. When in doubt, a small round-up or 5-10% is universally accepted.
Splitting the tip at a group dinner can be awkward. Different splitting methods work better for different situations. Here is a comparison of common approaches to ensure everyone pays their fair share.
| Method | How It Works | Best For | Potential Issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equal Split | Total bill divided equally among all diners | Everyone ordered similar-priced items | Unfair if someone ordered much more/less |
| Per Person | Each person pays for their own items + their share of tip | Varied orders, different budgets | Requires itemized math, can be slow |
| Percentage Split | Each person pays their percentage of the total | One person covers bill, others pay their share | Requires trust in the calculation |
| Round Up | Everyone rounds up to nearest $5/$10, excess is tip | Quick and informal, small groups | Can over- or under-tip significantly |
| Cover + Shared | Everyone pays equally for shared items, separately for personal | Parties sharing appetizers | Most complex, requires tracking |
For most group dining situations, the equal split method is the simplest and socially smoothest option — the difference usually amounts to just a few dollars per person. If the group has very different spending levels, use the per-person method. A good compromise: use the percentage split method where one person pays and everyone Venmos their share.
