Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the US, 15–20% is standard for table service at restaurants. 18–20% is typical for good service, 25%+ for exceptional service, and 10–15% if service was poor. In Europe, tipping is less expected — rounding up or 5–10% is common. In Japan and some Asian countries, tipping is not customary.
How do you calculate a 20% tip?
Multiply the bill by 0.20. For example, a $45 bill: $45 × 0.20 = $9 tip, total = $54. A quick mental trick: find 10% (move the decimal one place left), then double it. For $45: 10% = $4.50, × 2 = $9.
Should you tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Convention varies. In the US, tipping on the pre-tax (subtotal) amount is technically correct, but tipping on the total including tax is also common and results in a slightly higher tip. The difference is small — on a $50 bill with 8% tax, it's about $0.80.
How do you split a bill evenly?
Enter the bill amount, set your tip percentage, and enter the number of people. The calculator divides the total (bill + tip) equally. For example, $100 bill + 20% tip = $120 total, split between 4 people = $30 each.
What tip is standard for delivery?
For food delivery, 10–20% of the order total is standard, with a minimum of $3–5 for small orders regardless of percentage. For grocery or other delivery services, $3–5 per trip is typical.
