How to use the tip calculator
- Enter the amount on your bill.
- Type a tip percent or tap one of the quick buttons.
- If you are splitting the bill, enter the number of people. Each person's share appears at the top.
- Tick Round up each share if you would rather pay in whole numbers.

Customs vary a lot around the world. In Japan tipping can even be seen as rude, while in the UK 10 to 12.5 percent is normal and is often added to the bill as a service charge. Check your receipt before adding a tip so you do not pay it twice.
Splitting a bill fairly
Dividing equally is quick and works well when everyone ordered roughly the same. If one person had a starter, a main and two cocktails while another had a salad, it can feel unfair. In that case, have each person enter their own items as the bill amount and use the same tip percent. Everyone pays for what they had, and the server still gets a consistent tip.
