Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
Standard tipping norms: 10% for adequate service, 15% for good service, 18–20% for excellent service, 25%+ for exceptional service. In the US, 18–20% is now considered standard. In the UK, 10–12.5% is typical.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
In the US, it's customary to tip on the pre-tax total. However, many people tip on the full bill for simplicity. The difference is small — on a $100 bill with 10% tax, the tip difference between pre/post-tax is about $1.50 at 15%.
How do I split a bill unequally?
This calculator splits equally by default. For unequal splits, calculate the total (bill + tip) then divide according to what each person ordered. A common approach: each person pays for what they ordered, then split the tip equally.
Is tipping mandatory?
Tipping is legally optional in most countries, but it is a significant cultural expectation in the US, Canada, and some Middle Eastern countries. In Japan and South Korea, tipping is considered rude. In most of Europe and Australia, it's appreciated but not expected.
