Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard tip percentage?
In the United States, 15-20% is considered standard for restaurant service. 15% is for adequate service, 18% for good service, and 20%+ for excellent service. Tip customs vary by country.
How do I calculate a tip in my head?
To quickly calculate a 20% tip, move the decimal point one place left (10%) and double it. For 15%, calculate 10% and add half of that. For example, on a $50 bill: 10% = $5, so 20% = $10 and 15% = $7.50.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Etiquette experts generally recommend tipping on the pre-tax amount, though tipping on the total (post-tax) is also common and appreciated. Our calculator lets you enter whichever amount you prefer.
How do I split a bill fairly?
The simplest method is to divide the total (including tip) equally. If people ordered items of very different prices, you can calculate individual shares separately. Our calculator handles equal splits instantly.
