FREE INTERNATIONAL TIP CALCULATOR
Helpful resources for travelers — from booking tours to finding the perfect hotel.
Calculating a tip is simple — multiply your bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100.
Tip = Bill × Tip% ÷ 100
Example: a $50 bill with 20% tip → $50 × 20 ÷ 100 = $10 tip. Total = $60.
Divide the total (including tip) by the number of people.
Per Person = (Bill + Tip) ÷ People
Example: $120 total ÷ 4 people = $30 per person.
