Tipping customs around the world
| Country / region | Custom | Typical amount |
|---|---|---|
| United States, Canada | Expected (part of wages) | 15–20% |
| United Kingdom | Often added as a service charge | 10–12.5% |
| France, Belgium | Service included, tip optional | 5–10% or round up |
| Japan | Not customary, may be declined | 0% |
| Southern Europe | Appreciated but not expected | 5–10% |
Mental shortcut: get 10% by moving the decimal point (48.00 → 4.80); double it for 20%; add half of it for 15%.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip in the United States?
In the US, tips are part of servers’ wages: 15% is a common minimum, 18–20% the norm for good service, and more for exceptional service.
How much in Europe?
In most of Europe, service is included in the bill. A tip remains appreciated: 5–10% for good service, or simply rounding up to the next euro at a café.
Should the tip be calculated before or after tax?
Traditionally on the pre-tax amount, but many people use the total for simplicity. With a 10–20% tax the difference is modest — pick one rule and stay consistent.
How does the round-up option work?
It rounds each person’s share up to the next whole unit, then recalculates the total and the tip accordingly. Handy for paying cash without fiddling with small change.
How do I split an uneven bill?
This tool splits equally, the most common case. For a split proportional to what each person ordered, compute the ratio (total with tip ÷ base total) and multiply each person’s consumption by it.
