Tips

Tip on pre-tax amount. The tip should be calculated on the food/service cost, not on the tax portion.

Cash is king. In most African countries, leaving a cash tip ensures it goes directly to the server.

Group dining? Some restaurants add a mandatory service charge for groups of 6+. Check before adding your own tip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I tip in Africa?
In South Africa, 10-15% is standard. In Nigeria, 5-10% is typical. In Kenya, 10% is common. In Ghana, service charges are often included but an extra 5% is appreciated. In North Africa (Morocco, Egypt), 10-15% is expected in tourist areas.
Should I tip on pre-tax or post-tax amount?
It is generally accepted to tip on the pre-tax bill amount. This calculator separates tax from the bill so your tip is calculated on the food/service cost only, not on taxes.
What does the rounding option do?
The rounding option rounds up the total to the nearest convenient number. For example, if your total is 5,487, rounding to nearest 100 makes it 5,500. This makes it easier to pay with cash, especially with African currencies where exact change can be hard to come by.
Does the calculator support CFA Franc and other currencies?
Yes. We support 12 currencies including Nigerian Naira, Kenyan Shilling, South African Rand, Ghanaian Cedi, CFA Franc (West and Central), Ugandan Shilling, Tanzanian Shilling, Ethiopian Birr, US Dollar, British Pound, and Euro.
