Frequently Asked Questions
What is a standard tip percentage?
In the United States, 15–20% is the standard tip for sit-down restaurant service. 15% is acceptable for average service, 18–20% for good service, and 25% or more for exceptional service. For other services like food delivery or hair salons, 15–20% is also common.
How do I split the bill between multiple people?
Enter the total bill amount, choose your tip percentage, and set the number of people. The calculator divides both the tip and the total bill equally among the group. If some people ordered more expensive items, you may want to calculate individual shares manually.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
It is common practice to tip on the pre-tax (subtotal) amount, since tax is collected by the government rather than the service provider. However, tipping on the post-tax total is also acceptable and simpler — the difference is usually small.
