Tip Calculator FAQ

Common questions about tipping and splitting bills.

How much should I tip at a restaurant?

The standard tip in the US is 15–20% of the pre-tax total. For excellent service, 20–25% is appropriate. For counter service or takeout, 10–15% is typical.

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

Tipping etiquette varies. Most people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but tipping on the total (including tax) is also common and is slightly more generous. This calculator uses the full bill amount you enter.

Is 15% still an acceptable tip?

15% is acceptable for adequate service, though the norm has shifted toward 18–20% in most US cities. Consider 15% for average service and 20%+ for attentive service.
