Frequently Asked Questions
What is a standard tip percentage?
In the United States, 15-20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. 10% may be acceptable for counter service, while 20-25% is common for exceptional service.
Should I tip on the pre-tax amount?
Many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but tipping on the total including tax is also common. The difference is usually small.
How do I split a bill unevenly?
This calculator splits evenly. For uneven splits, calculate each person's share of the bill first, then use the calculator for each portion separately.
Do I need to tip for takeout?
Tipping for takeout is optional but appreciated, especially at restaurants that prepare food to order. A smaller percentage or rounding up is common.
