Frequently asked questions

How much should I tip?

In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for restaurant service: 15% for adequate service, 18% for good, and 20%+ for excellent. Use the calculator above to set your own percentage.

How do I calculate a 20% tip?

Multiply the bill by 0.20, or simply move the decimal one place left to get 10% and double it. On a $50 bill, 10% is $5, so 20% is $10.

How do I split a bill with tip among friends?

Calculate the total including tip, then divide by the number of people. For a $100 bill with a 20% tip ($120 total) split four ways, each person pays $30.

Is tipping different in other countries?

Yes. Tipping is customary in the US and Canada, more modest in much of Europe (often rounding up or ~5–10%), and sometimes considered unnecessary or even rude in countries like Japan. Adjust the percentage to match local custom.
