Frequently Asked Questions
What's a standard tip percentage in the US?▾
For sit-down restaurants in the US: 18–22% is standard for good service, 15% for adequate, 25%+ for exceptional. Bartenders: $1–2 per drink or 20%. Delivery: 15–20% of food cost. Hairdressers: 15–20%. Hotels: $2–5 per service. Tipping is generally not expected at counter-service / fast food.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?▾
Etiquette experts traditionally say pre-tax, but post-tax tipping is increasingly common (and easier when reading the receipt total). Either is fine — what matters is that the tip reaches the worker.
How do I split a bill evenly with tip?▾
Enter the total bill, your tip %, and the number of people. The calculator divides the total (bill + tip) evenly. Use the round-up option if you want each person to pay a clean dollar amount.
Do I tip on takeout?▾
Optional, but $1–3 or 10% is appreciated, especially for orders that required prep work. Some establishments now have tip prompts for takeout — you're not obligated to tip the same as dine-in.
Tipping abroad?▾
Tipping culture varies dramatically. Japan: don't tip (can be insulting). Most of Europe: 5–10% if service charge isn't already included. UK: 10–12.5%, often added as "service charge." Australia: not expected, 10% for great service. Always check local norms.
