Frequently Asked Questions

What is a standard restaurant tip?

15% is considered the minimum acceptable tip for decent service in the United States. 18–20% is standard for good service, and 25% or more is appropriate for exceptional service. In many other countries, tipping customs differ — in the UK and Australia a 10–15% tip is typical, while in Japan tipping is not customary.

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

Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is technically correct, since tax is a government charge not a reflection of service. However, tipping on the post-tax total is common in practice and the difference on a typical restaurant bill is small (usually less than $1–2). Either approach is acceptable.

How do I split a bill evenly?

Enter the total bill amount and set the number of people. The calculator divides the total (including tip) by the number of people and shows each person's share. Enable "Round up" to round each share up to the nearest dollar, which makes it easier to collect cash.

How much should I tip for food delivery?

For food delivery, 15–20% of the order total is standard. If the order is small or the delivery distance is long, consider tipping at least $3–5 as a minimum. Delivery drivers often rely on tips as a significant part of their income.

How much should I tip a taxi or rideshare driver?

15–20% is the norm for rideshare (Uber, Lyft) and taxi drivers. Many apps prompt you to tip after the ride. If the driver went out of their way to help you, a higher tip is appreciated.
