**Tipping Culture Around the World**

*United States* — Tipping is expected and forms a significant portion of service workers' income due to the lower tipped minimum wage.

*United Kingdom* — 10–15% at restaurants; not expected at pubs when ordering at the bar.

*India* — 10% at upscale restaurants; rounding up or ₹20–50 at casual establishments.

*Japan* — Tipping is considered rude and may be declined. Exceptional service is its own reward.

*Australia* — Not expected but appreciated; 10% at restaurants.

**How to Use the Bill Splitter**

1. Enter the total bill amount.
2. Select or enter your desired tip percentage.
3. Enter the number of people sharing the bill.
4. See the tip per person and total per person immediately.

**Handling Unequal Splits**

When some people ordered more expensive items, a straight equal split feels unfair. Toggle to "Custom Split" mode to enter each person's individual order total, and the calculator will split the tip proportionally.

**Tax Consideration**

In the US, tipping is typically calculated on the pre-tax amount, though some calculate on the post-tax total. Our calculator offers a toggle for both options.
