Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip?
US standard: 15-20% for sit-down restaurants. 10% for buffets. 10-15% for takeout (optional). 18-20% for bars. 15-20% for taxi/rideshare. 15-20% for hotel housekeeping per night. Higher for exceptional service.
How do I split a bill evenly?
Add the bill amount to the tip, then divide by the number of people. Example: $80 bill + $16 tip (20%) = $96 total ÷ 4 people = $24 per person. This calculator shows the exact per-person amount instantly.
Should I tip on pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically correct and most common. However, the difference is small and tipping on the total (post-tax) is also acceptable, especially when the service was excellent.
