Frequently Asked Questions

What is a standard tip percentage?

In the U.S., 15–20% is the standard tip for restaurant service. 18–20% reflects good service, while 25% or more signals exceptional service or a very small bill.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is technically correct, but many people tip on the full bill total for simplicity. Either approach is acceptable — just be consistent.

How do I split a tip between multiple people?

Enter the number of people in the split field. The calculator divides the total (bill + tip) evenly and shows each person's share, including their portion of the tip.
