Frequently Asked Questions
How is the tip amount calculated?▾
Tip amount = Bill × Tip%. Total = Bill + Tip. Per-person amount = Total ÷ Number of people. Example: $80 bill, 20% tip, 4 people → Tip = $16, Total = $96, Per person = $24. For rounding, each person pays the ceiling of (Total ÷ People) and the remainder is covered by fewer people paying more. This avoids fractional cent issues in practice.
What is the standard tip percentage?▾
US tipping norms: Restaurant (sit-down): 15–20% (pre-pandemic standard ~15%, now closer to 18–20%). Exceptional service: 25%+. Fast food / counter service: optional 10–15% or nothing. Bar: $1–2 per drink or 15–20%. Taxi/rideshare: 10–20%. Hotel housekeeping: $2–5/night. Salon/spa: 15–20%. Delivery: 10–20% depending on distance. Internationally: tipping culture varies widely — research the local custom before traveling.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?▾
Etiquette is debated. Most tipping guides say pre-tax (tipping on the actual cost of the meal), but the difference is small. On a $100 bill with 8% tax, tipping 20% on pre-tax = $20 vs post-tax = $21.60. In practice, most people tip on the post-tax amount since that's the total shown on the bill. For simplicity, this calculator uses the entered amount as-is — enter pre-tax or post-tax depending on your preference.
How do I split the bill fairly when people ordered different amounts?▾
Equal split works when everyone ordered similarly. For unequal orders: itemized split — each person pays for what they ordered + their share of tax + tip on their subtotal. A practical approach: total each person's items, calculate each person's percentage of the pre-tip total, apply that percentage to the tip. Example: Person A ordered $40 (40%), Person B ordered $60 (60%) of $100 total. Person A's tip = 40% of total tip; Person B's = 60%.
How do credit card tips work at restaurants?▾
When paying by card, you write the tip on the receipt after the server swipes or inserts the card. The server enters the tip amount later, and the total charge appears on your statement within 1–3 days. Tips paid by credit card are income for the server and must be reported to the IRS. Cash tips are also income (legally required to report) but harder to track. The restaurant typically pays the credit card processing fee (~2–3%) on the tip amount too, slightly reducing what servers actually receive.
