Frequently Asked Questions
Is tip calculated before or after tax?
Traditionally tip is calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. However many people find it easier to tip on the total including tax and the difference is small. Our calculator lets you enter whichever amount you have in front of you — pre-tax subtotal or total with tax — and calculates the tip on that amount.
What is a good tip percentage for a restaurant?
In the United States, 15 percent is considered the minimum for adequate service, 18 to 20 percent is standard for good service, and 20 to 25 percent for excellent service. In other countries tipping customs vary widely — in Japan tipping is not customary, while in the UK 10 to 12.5 percent is typical at restaurants.
How do I split a bill unevenly?
This tool calculates an even split per person. For uneven splits where different people ordered different amounts, the fairest approach is to calculate each person's share of the bill, then each person adds their proportional tip. Alternatively use the total tip amount and divide it however your group agrees.
Should I tip on the discounted price or the original price?
If you are using a discount, coupon, or promotional offer, it is generally considered good etiquette to tip on the original pre-discount price. The server provided the same level of service regardless of the discount, and the discount comes from the restaurant, not from the server's wages.
Is it rude not to tip?
In countries with a strong tipping culture like the United States, not tipping or tipping below 15 percent is considered rude except in cases of genuinely poor service. In the US, tipped workers often earn a lower base minimum wage with the expectation that tips make up the difference. In other countries tipping norms differ significantly.
