Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a tip?
Tip = Bill Amount × Tip Percentage. For a $85 bill at 18%: $85 × 0.18 = $15.30. Total = $100.30. The calculator also splits the bill and tip evenly among multiple people.
What is the standard tip percentage?
In the US: 15% for adequate service, 18-20% for good service, 25%+ for exceptional service. For takeout: 10-15%. For delivery: 15-20%. For bartenders: $1-2 per drink or 15-20% of the tab.
How do I split a bill with tip among friends?
Calculate total (bill + tip), then divide by the number of people. $120 bill + 20% tip = $144 total. Split 4 ways: $36 each. The calculator handles uneven splits if some people ordered more.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Etiquette experts recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal. On a $100 meal with $8 tax: tip 20% on $100 = $20, not on $108. However, tipping on the total is also common and more generous.
How do tipping customs differ around the world?
US/Canada: 15-25% expected. UK: 10-15% optional. Japan: no tipping (considered rude). Australia: not expected but appreciated. Europe: rounding up or 5-10%. The calculator lets you set any percentage for any country's customs.
