Tip Calculator & Bill Splitter
Enter the bill, your preferred tip percentage, and the number of people splitting. CalcWize returns the tip amount, total bill including tip, and per-person share. Useful for restaurants, group orders, or any time you want a quick "what do we each owe" answer.
Tip-percentage etiquette
In the US, 15–20% is standard for restaurants; 18% is a common default. In Europe and Asia, tipping is typically smaller (5–10%) or already included as service charge. Set a sensible default for where you are.
From-a-photo mode
Switch to "From a photo" and upload a snapshot of the receipt. CalcWize sends the image to a vision model that reads the line items, then lets each person tap which items are theirs. The total comes out as a per-person breakdown including the optional tip. Useful when 4+ people are splitting and not everyone ate the same — the photo flow handles itemised splits even though equal-split mode doesn't.
When tip is already included
In many countries (most of Europe, Japan, Australia, NZ), restaurants either include service in the bill or the cultural expectation is no tip at all. Tipping on top of an already-included service charge is double-paying. Always check the bill for "service charge", "couvert", "10%", or similar before adding more — and respect the local norm rather than the US default.
Frequently asked questions
- How much should I tip?
- In the US, 15–20% is standard for restaurant service, with 18% a common default. In much of Europe and Asia, tipping is smaller or already included as a service charge.
- What if a service charge is already on the bill?
- Then you usually don’t tip on top — adding more would be double-paying. Check for a “service”, “couvert”, or percentage line before adding a tip, and respect the local norm.
How we calculate it
Tip = bill × tip percentage. The total is the bill plus the tip, and the per-person share is the total divided by the number of people. The optional photo mode itemises the bill so each person pays for what they ordered.
What it doesn't do
- Tax calculations (most countries roll tax into the bill before tipping anyway)
- Itemised splits (this is "everyone pays the same share")
