About this calculator
Tipping in Malaysia is not customary in the way it is in the US — most restaurants already include a 10% service charge and 6% SST on the bill, and the standard cultural assumption is that those baked-in surcharges replace the need for a discretionary tip. However, tipping ride-hailing drivers (Grab, AirAsia ride), food-delivery riders (Foodpanda, GrabFood), hotel bellboys and housekeepers, salon stylists, and tour guides is genuinely appreciated, typically 5–15% of the bill or a small flat amount (RM2–RM10). For ride-hailing in particular, RM2–RM5 on a city trip and RM10+ on an airport run is the unofficial norm. Outside Malaysia, customs vary widely and getting it wrong is embarrassing: the United States expects 15–20% for sit-down dining and 1–2 dollars per drink at a bar; most of continental Europe expects 5–10% (and often the service is already included on the bill); Japan and South Korea generally don't tip and waitstaff may chase you to return the money; Australia and New Zealand tip occasionally but not by rule. This calculator handles three things at once — tip amount, total bill, and per-person share — so you can settle quickly without doing mental arithmetic at the table. It also handles uneven group sizes (a 7-person bill split four ways for the ones who ordered, three friends covered) by letting you set the people count manually.
Formula
Tip = Bill × Tip% Total = Bill + Tip Per person = Total ÷ Number of people
Example calculation
Example: RM100 bill, 10% tip, 4 people
Tip is RM10, total is RM110, and each of the four diners pays RM27.50.
