Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the United States, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for sit-down restaurants. For exceptional service, 20–25% is common. For takeout, 10% or a few dollars is appreciated. Tipping customs vary widely by country; many European and Asian countries do not expect tips.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Etiquette experts generally recommend tipping on the pre-tax amount, as the tax goes to the government, not the restaurant. However, many people tip on the total including tax for simplicity. The difference is usually small (1–2% of the bill).
How do I split a bill with tip among multiple people?
Calculate the total bill plus tip, then divide by the number of people. For example, a $100 bill with 18% tip = $118 total. Split 4 ways, each person pays $29.50. Many tip calculators can handle this instantly including rounding options.
