Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
The standard tip at a US restaurant is 15–20%. For excellent service, 20–25% is common. 15% is considered acceptable for average service, and 10% for poor service. Buffet restaurants typically receive 10%.
How do I calculate a 20% tip?
To calculate a 20% tip, multiply your bill by 0.20. For example, on a $75 bill: $75 × 0.20 = $15 tip, making the total $90. A quick trick: move the decimal one place left (10% of $75 = $7.50), then double it ($15).
How do I split a restaurant bill evenly?
Enter the total bill amount, select your tip percentage, then set the number of people. The calculator shows each person's exact share including their portion of the tip — no math needed.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically correct, but tipping on the full total (post-tax) is also widely accepted. The difference is usually only a dollar or two, so either approach is fine.
