Tippingtippingis a common custom of leaving an additional amount of money for serving staff (waiters, bartenders, food delivery people or taxi drivers) as an expression of satisfaction with the quality of the services provided. Although the idea of rewarding good service is global, the rules and amounts of tips vary dramatically from country to country. In some countries (e.g. the USA), tipping is almost mandatory and constitutes the main part of a waiter's remuneration. In others (e.g. Poland) it is a voluntary gesture of kindness. There are also countries (e.g. Japan, Iceland) where leaving a tip may be considered inappropriate or insulting.
Our intuitive online tip calculator makes it easy to quickly calculate the appropriate tip amount based on the bill value and allows you to conveniently divide the total payment amount among the selected number of people, which facilitates settlement among a group of friends.
Formulas and algorithm for calculating the tip and splitting the bill
The mathematical formula for calculating the tip is based on percentages of the initial value:
Tip amount = Bill value × (Tip percentage / 100)
Total amount to pay = Bill value + Tip amount
To divide the bill evenly amongNmeeting participants, we use the formula:
Amount per person = Total amount to be paid / N

The table below summarizes the standards related to leaving tips in popular regions of the world:
| Country / Region | Standard tip amount | Status (Voluntary / Mandatory) | Cultural specificity and tourist tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poland | 10% of the bill | Voluntary | It is left with good service. The word "Thank you" when giving cash to a waiter means "you can keep your change." |
| United States (USA) | 15% – 20% of bill value | Virtually mandatory | Waiters earn very low base wages; not tipping is considered a scandal. |
| Italy | None or change (1-2 EUR) | Voluntary | A fee for table setting and bread is often added to the bill (so-calledcoperto) - but this is not a tip for the waiter. |
| Japan | 0% (No tips) | Not recommended | Service is included in the work ethic. Leaving some change on the table will result in the waiter catching up with us to return the lost money. |
| Egypt / Turkey | 10% – 15% (so-called baksheesh) | Highly anticipated | Baksheesh is an element of culture; he is expected at every turn for the slightest help or service. |
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How much is the standard tip in Poland?
In Poland, it is customary to leave a tip of 10% of the bill if the service and food met expectations.
What does the "service charge" item on the bill mean?
This is a service fee (usually 10-12.5%), which is permanently added to the bill by some restaurants, most often for groups of more than 5-6 people. In such a situation, leaving an additional tip is not necessary.
Can I tip when paying by card?
Yes. Most modern payment terminals allow you to enter the tip amount before presenting the card. However, it is worth asking the waiter whether tips from the card go directly to the service staff.
How do I politely signal to the waiter that we don't want change?
When paying with cash, just hand the money to the waiter and say "Thank you." In Polish restaurant culture, this word means agreeing to keep change as a tip.
Should you leave a tip in self-service cafes?
Cafes and fast food places often have tip jars on the counters. Putting change there is completely voluntary and depends only on your sympathy for the barista.
