Tipping etiquette across the MENA region varies by country and venue: 10-15% is increasingly expected in Saudi and Emirati restaurants, 10% is the long-standing norm in Egypt and Lebanon, and 8-15% covers Jordan and Morocco. This calculator removes the mental arithmetic at the end of a meal: it computes the tip on the pre-VAT figure when the bill includes tax — the tip rewards the service, not the tax — and splits the total cleanly between any number of guests, with a per-person share rounded up so the table never comes up short.
Step 1. Enter the bill total as printed on the receipt.
Step 2. Tick 'Bill includes VAT' if the total is post-tax and enter the VAT rate — the calculator extracts the pre-VAT base before tipping.
Step 3. Pick a tip percentage — 10%, 12.5%, 15% or 20%, or type your own. If a service charge is already on the bill, a modest 5-10% top-up is customary rather than a full-rate tip.
Step 4. Enter the number of people.
Step 5. Click Calculate to read the tip, the new total and the per-person share, plus that share rounded up to the next whole unit.
