Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I tip at a restaurant?

In the US, 18–20% is standard for sit-down service, 15% for fair service, and 22–25% for outstanding service or fine dining. In Europe, tipping is often optional or built into the bill (look for 'service compris'). Always check your local norms.

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

Etiquette guides recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, since the tax is not part of the service you received. Many people tip on the total for simplicity. Our calculator lets you choose either approach.

How do I split a bill including tip among friends?

Add the tip to the bill total, then divide by the number of people. For example, a $80 bill with a 20% tip ($16) becomes $96. Split between 4 people, each owes $24. Our calculator handles this instantly.

Do I need to tip on takeout or delivery?

For takeout, tipping is optional but a $1–3 tip or 10% is appreciated for larger orders. For delivery, 15–20% is typical, with a minimum of $3–5. Tip the driver directly, even if you tipped through the app.

How do I split a bill unevenly when people ordered different items?

Calculate each person's subtotal based on what they ordered, then apply the same tip percentage and tax proportionally. This is fairer than splitting evenly when one person had a $50 steak and another had a $12 salad.
