About This Calculator

TipCalc is a free, browser-based tip calculator designed to help diners, travellers, and anyone who uses tipping services calculate gratuities quickly and accurately. Whether you are splitting a restaurant bill with friends, verifying a service charge, or figuring out the right tip in a foreign country, our tool provides instant, clear results.

What We Do

We provide a simple calculator with three modes — Standard Tip, Reverse Tip, and Bill Splitter — along with comprehensive guides on tipping etiquette worldwide. Our goal is to remove the guesswork from tipping so you can focus on enjoying the experience.

Methodology

Our recommended tip percentages are based on widely accepted customs in each region, drawn from consumer surveys, hospitality industry guidelines, and local legislation (such as the UK's Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023). We review and update our data regularly to reflect changes in tipping norms and law.

Privacy

All calculations happen entirely in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the numbers you enter. Saved calculator inputs use your browser's localStorage — a feature built into your web browser that stores data only on your device. We use analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, not personal data) and may display ads to support the site's operation.

Disclaimer

This calculator is for guidance only. Tipping customs vary by region, establishment, and situation. The information provided does not constitute professional financial advice. Always use your own judgement when deciding how much to tip. We make every effort to keep our data accurate and current, but we cannot guarantee that all information reflects the latest changes in every region.
