Tip Calculator — Tips & Guide
Tipping customs vary by country and service type. Use this calculator to quickly determine fair tip amounts and split them equally among your group.
20% is Standard in the US
In the United States, 20% has become the standard restaurant tip for good service. 15% is acceptable for adequate service, and 25%+ is appropriate for exceptional service or large groups.
Tip on Pre-Tax Amount
Technically, you should tip on the pre-tax subtotal, not the total with tax. The difference is small but adds up — tipping on a $100 pre-tax bill vs. $108 after tax is $1.60 on a 20% tip.
Check for Included Gratuity
Many restaurants automatically add an 18–20% service charge for groups of 6 or more. Always check the bill before adding an additional tip to avoid double-tipping.
In the US, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. 20% is a safe, well-received tip for good service. For exceptional service, 25% or more is a generous gesture. Tip less (10–15%) for subpar service, but consider that servers typically rely on tips as a primary income source.
Calculate the total bill including tip, then divide by the number of people. For example, a $120 bill with a 20% tip = $144 total. Split 4 ways = $36 per person. The "Round up per person" toggle on this calculator adjusts the per-person amount to the nearest whole number for easier cash handling.
For restaurants in the US: 15% minimum, 18–20% standard, 25%+ exceptional. For delivery: 15–20%. For bartenders: $1–2 per drink or 20% of the tab. For taxis/rideshare: 15–20%. For hotel housekeeping: $2–5 per night. Tipping norms vary significantly by country.
Tipping etiquette says to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, as tax is a government charge unrelated to the service you received. In practice, most people tip on the full total for simplicity — the difference is usually just a few cents. Either approach is acceptable.
