About Tipping
Tipping customs vary around the world. In the United States, 15–20% is standard at sit-down restaurants, while 10–15% is common for counter service or takeout. In many European and Asian countries, a service charge is often included in the bill, making additional tipping optional. When splitting a bill among a group, this calculator divides both the tip and total evenly so every person pays the same share. Remember that tips are an important part of service workers' income in many countries — when in doubt, round up.
FAQ
How much should I tip?
In the US, 15–20% is standard for restaurant dining. For exceptional service, consider 20–25%. For delivery or takeout, 10–15% is common. Always check if a service charge is already included before adding a tip.
Is tipping mandatory?
In most countries, tipping is voluntary but expected in certain service industries. In the US, tips make up a significant portion of servers' wages, so tipping is strongly customary. In many European and Asian countries, service charges are built into the bill and additional tipping is optional.
How do I split a bill fairly?
The simplest method is to divide the total (including tip) equally among all diners. If orders varied significantly in price, some groups prefer to have each person pay for their own items plus an equal share of the tip. This calculator splits the total and tip evenly for quick estimates.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Either is acceptable. Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically correct, but many people tip on the total after tax for simplicity. The difference is usually small.
