Tip Calculator

In the United States, a standard restaurant tip is 15% to 20% of the pre-tax bill. For excellent service, 20% to 25% is common. In other countries tipping customs vary — some include service charges automatically.

It is standard practice to tip on the pre-tax subtotal. Enter the amount before tax into the calculator for the most accurate result. However, tipping on the post-tax total is also acceptable and simpler.

Enter the total bill, choose your tip percentage, then increase the number of people using the split control. The calculator divides the total (bill + tip) equally and shows each person's share.

In the US, 10% is generally considered a low tip for sit-down restaurant service. It may be appropriate for counter service, takeout, or in countries where tipping is less customary. For full table service, 15% to 20% is the standard range.

Tipping for takeout is optional but increasingly common. A 10% to 15% tip is a nice gesture, especially for large or complex orders. During busy periods, staff appreciate any tip for takeout preparation.
