How It Works
To calculate a tip, simply multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage. For example, an 18% tip on a $50 bill is $50 × 0.18 = $9.00, making the total $59.00.
When dining with a group, you can split the bill evenly by dividing the total (bill + tip) by the number of people. The round-up option bumps the total to the next whole dollar, which simplifies splitting and often adds a few extra cents to the tip.
Tipping customs vary by country. In the US, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. In many European and Asian countries, service charges are included in the bill or tipping is not expected.
Tips & Best Practices
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the US, 15–20% is the standard range for sit-down restaurants. For excellent service, 20–25% is appropriate. For buffets, 10% is typical. Always tip on the pre-tax subtotal.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
It is customary to tip on the pre-tax amount, since the tax portion goes to the government, not the server. However, tipping on the post-tax total is also common and results in a slightly higher tip.
How do I split a bill with tip?
Add the tip to the total bill, then divide by the number of people. For example, a $100 bill with 20% tip = $120 total. Split 4 ways = $30 per person.
What does rounding up the total do?
Rounding up increases the total to the next whole dollar amount. This simplifies payments and slightly increases the tip. For example, a $59.37 total rounded up becomes $60.00.
Do I need to tip if there is a service charge?
If a restaurant adds a mandatory service charge (common for large groups), you generally do not need to tip additional unless the service was exceptional. Check your bill to see if gratuity is already included.
