In Budapest, London and Singapore it replaces the tip. In Germany and Moldova you still add a tip even when service is "included". Tick the box if there's a charge on your bill and we'll tell you what to do.
In Japan, South Korea and China you don't tip at restaurants. In those places the calculator shows 0, and that's exactly the right amount.
