Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
The standard tip at a sit-down restaurant in the United States is 15–20% of the pre-tax bill. For exceptional service, 20–25% is common. For takeout, 10% is typical. For buffet-style restaurants, 10% is appropriate. Tipping customs vary by country — in Japan and Australia, tipping is not expected.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Most etiquette experts recommend tipping on the pre-tax bill amount. However, many people tip on the total (including tax) for simplicity. The difference is small — on a $100 bill with 8% tax, tipping 20% on pre-tax ($20) vs. post-tax ($21.60) is only $1.60.
How do I split a bill evenly with tax and tip?
Enter the full bill amount (including tax), choose your tip percentage, and enter the number of people. Our calculator divides the total (bill + tip) equally among all diners. For unequal splits based on what each person ordered, you'd need to calculate individual totals separately.
How much to tip for delivery orders?
Standard tip for food delivery is 15–20% of the order total, with a minimum of $3–5 regardless of order size. For large orders, bad weather, or long distances, 20–25% is more appropriate. Delivery drivers often earn minimum wage and rely on tips as a significant part of their income.
