📖 Tipping Guide
Tipping customs vary by country and service type. In the United States, standard tips are 15-20% for restaurant service, 15-20% for hairdressers, 10-15% for takeout, and $1-2 per drink at bars. Many countries outside the US have different tipping customs — some include service charges in the bill.
When splitting a bill, it's common to round up to make the math easier. Our calculator handles the division precisely, showing both the per-person share and the total amounts.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
In the US: 15% for adequate service, 18-20% for good service, 25%+ for exceptional service. For delivery, 15-20% or $5 minimum. For buffets, 10%. Always tip on the pre-tax amount. If in doubt, 20% is a safe standard.
Etiquette says to tip on the pre-tax subtotal, not the after-tax total. However, many people simply tip on the total for convenience, and servers certainly appreciate it.
