How Much Should You Tip?
In the United States the standard restaurant tip is 15–20% of the pre-tax bill, with 18% a common default for good service and 20%+ for excellent service. Enter your bill, tap a percentage (or set your own), and add the number of people to split evenly — the tool shows the tip, the total, and each person's share.
Quick mental trick: 20% is the bill with the decimal moved one place, doubled — a $46.00 bill → $4.60 × 2 = $9.20 tip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Etiquette guides say pre-tax, and no server will object. In practice many people tip on the total for simplicity — on a typical 8% sales tax the difference is small.
How much do I tip for delivery, bartenders or hairdressers?
Common norms: food delivery 10-15% (minimum $3-5), bartenders $1-2 per drink or 15-20% of the tab, hair stylists 15-20%, taxi and rideshare 10-15%.
Is a tip included when a "service charge" appears?
Usually yes — an automatic gratuity (often 18-20% for large parties) replaces the tip. Check the receipt; you are not expected to tip twice.
