    Tip and Bill Splitter

    🇨🇦 Canada version

    A Canadian group dinner ends with a bill, tax already added, and a tip of about 15% to share. This splitter starts at 15%, divides bill, tip and total across the table in dollars, and compares the 15%, 18% and 20% buttons. The tip is taken on the printed total, tax included.

    Tipping in Canada

    Tips are normally left on top of the bill; a service charge is not described in the Canada.ca guide. Check your bill.

    • The usual tip is about 15% of the bill (Government of Canada newcomer guide).
    • All tips and gratuities are taxable income and must be reported on the tax return.
    • Quebec is the only province that requires employees to declare tips to their employer.

    Sources: Canada.ca: Money (settle in Canada); CRA: Tips and gratuities.

    Canada rules and figures

    • Newcomers are told the usual restaurant tip is around 15%, in the federal settlement guide.
    • Tip income counts as taxable income and belongs on the tax return, the CRA says.
    • Only Quebec makes employees tell their employer about tips they receive.
    • Nationally GST is 5%, Ontario HST is 13%, and Quebec pairs 5% GST with 9.975% QST.
    • The settlement guide describes tips left on top of the bill and says nothing of service charges.

    How the Tip and Bill Splitter works

    Tip equals bill times the percentage, and total equals bill plus tip. Dividing each of the three amounts by the head count gives the per-person bill, tip and total.

    $192.00 × 1.15 ÷ 6 = $36.80 per person at the opening tip

    • Three buttons sit at 15%, 18% and 20%, and the slider reaches as far as 30%.
    • A tip below 15% is labelled Little or No Tip. Then come Standard at 15%, Good at 18%, Great at 20% and Excellent at 25% or more.
    • Provincial tax is part of the bill you type, so a Quebec bill with 14.975% in tax or an Alberta bill with 5% is entered as printed.
    • The Guide tab repeats the Canada.ca figure of about 15% and the CRA note on reporting tips.
    • Shares show to the cent with no rounding rule.

    How to use the Tip and Bill Splitter

    1. Type the printed total. Include the tax shown on the receipt, for example $192.00.
    2. Set the head count. Adjust the counter to the diners dividing the cost.
    3. Choose a level and copy. Pick 15%, 18% or 20%, then read Each person pays on the Breakdown tab and use Copy Summary to share it.

    Example: $192.00 shared by 6 people

    Fifteen percent adds $28.80, so the table pays $220.80 and every person owes $36.80, of which $4.80 is tip. Eighteen percent costs the table $226.56 ($37.76 each), and twenty percent costs $230.40 ($38.40 each).

    When to use the Tip and Bill Splitter

    • Dividing a team lunch. Enter the receipt total, set the head count and send the single share to colleagues.
    • Showing the cost of 18% against 15%. Read the comparison and see the extra dollars across the whole table.
    • Sharing a ride. Type the fare and divide it, with a tip of your choosing, among riders.
    • Checking the service badge. Type your intended percentage and see whether the label reads Standard, Good or Great.

    What the Tip and Bill Splitter does not do

    • The split is equal, so someone who ordered less pays the same.
    • No tax field exists, so the percentage applies to the total including GST, HST or PST.
    • Shares are not rounded to a whole dollar, and they can drift by a cent from the total.
    • The tool does not move money or settle debts.
    • Reloading clears the bill and puts the tip at 15% again.

    When something else is a better fit

    • When you want the tip on the pre-tax amount, use the Tip Calculator, which subtracts a tax amount.
    • When you are checking a sale price with provincial tax, use the Discount Calculator.
