Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the US, the standard restaurant tip is 15–20% for average service, 20–25% for excellent service, and 10% or less for poor service. In many other countries, tipping is optional or a smaller amount (5–10%).
How do I calculate a tip quickly in my head?
For a 10% tip: move the decimal one place left ($45 → $4.50). For 15%: find 10% and add half. For 20%: find 10% and double it. For example, 20% of $45 = $9.00.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically correct, but most people tip on the total bill (post-tax) for simplicity. The difference on a typical meal is small — usually less than $1.
How do I split the bill and tip fairly?
Enter the full bill amount, select your tip percentage, and set the number of people. The calculator shows the exact amount each person owes including tip. If people ordered different amounts, split manually by calculating each person's share separately.
Do I tip on delivery orders?
Yes — for delivery orders, 15–20% is standard in the US. For pickup orders, tipping is optional but appreciated. Always tip in cash or via the app so the driver or staff receives it directly.
