Suggested Tip
Tipping customs vary widely around the world. This calculator uses typical local tipping percentages for restaurants.
Formula:
Tip Amount = Bill Total × (Tip Percentage / 100)
Tipping norms by country/region:
- United States / Canada: 15–20%
- United Kingdom: 10–15% (often included as service charge)
- Europe (France, Germany, Italy): 5–10% or round up
- Japan: 0% — tipping is not customary and may be refused
- Australia: 0–10% — not expected but appreciated
- Mexico / Latin America: 10–15%
- Middle East (UAE, etc.): 10–15%
- Southeast Asia (Thailand, etc.): 10% or round up
Tips for tipping abroad:
- Always check if a service charge is already included on the bill
- In many countries, rounding up to the nearest whole number is sufficient
- When in doubt, ask hotel staff about local customs
