The tip calculator works out exactly how much to add to a restaurant or service bill, and optionally splits the total across multiple people. Unlike many countries, tipping in Australia is not mandatory or expected — but it is a common way to acknowledge exceptional service.
Tipping culture varies significantly by country. In Australia, tipping is a genuine gesture of thanks — not an obligation. In the United States, 15–20% is effectively expected and forms part of the standard wage for hospitality workers. In Japan, tipping is considered rude. If you are travelling and want to know what is customary, a quick search for tipping etiquette in your destination is worthwhile. This calculator handles any percentage, so it works for Australian norms and US expectations alike.
Tipping in Australia is optional and entirely at your discretion. Australian hospitality workers are paid award wages, so tips are a bonus rather than a wage supplement. A tip of 10% for good restaurant service is common; rounding up the bill or leaving a few dollars is also appreciated. For cafés and quick service, tipping is less expected.
