Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip?
In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for sit-down restaurant service, with 18% a common default. 20%+ rewards great service. Norms vary by country and situation — this calculator lets you set any percentage.
How do I split a bill between people?
Enter the number of people and the calculator divides the total (bill plus tip) evenly, showing the per-person amount. Great for group dinners.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Traditionally you tip on the pre-tax subtotal, though many people tip on the total for simplicity. Enter whichever amount you prefer as the bill — the math works the same way.
How do I round the total?
Use the "round up" option to bring the per-person or total amount to a whole number, which makes splitting and paying in cash easier.
