Tip Amounts by Situation
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the US: 15-20% is standard. 15% for adequate service, 18% for good, 20%+ for excellent. Some suggest 10% for poor service. In other countries, tipping customs vary significantly—some countries include service charges, others don't tip at all.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Traditionally, you tip on the pre-tax subtotal. However, many people tip on the total (including tax) for simplicity—it's usually only a few dollars difference. Our calculator uses the amount you enter, so enter pre-tax if you prefer.
How do I split a bill fairly when people ordered different items?
Use our 'By Items' mode. Enter each person's items individually, then calculate tip on each subtotal. This ensures everyone pays for what they ordered, including appropriate tip.
What's the difference between tip and service charge?
A service charge is mandatory and added by the restaurant (often for large parties). A tip (gratuity) is voluntary and goes directly to staff. If there's already a service charge, check if additional tip is expected—often it's not.
Do I need to tip for takeout?
Tipping for takeout wasn't traditional, but post-2020 it's become more common. 10% is appreciated for takeout, especially for large or complex orders. For curbside pickup with service, 15% is generous.
How much to tip delivery drivers?
15-20% or $3-5 minimum, whichever is higher. Consider weather, distance, and apartment accessibility. In bad weather or for long distances, tip more generously.
Should you tip on alcohol?
Yes, include alcohol in your tipping calculation. Whether it's a $10 beer or $100 bottle of wine, the standard tip percentage applies to the entire bill including drinks.
What if the service was terrible?
10% is sometimes given for poor service to indicate dissatisfaction while still compensating staff minimally. However, if service was extremely bad, speak to management. Zero tip may be appropriate in extreme cases, but consider that kitchen issues aren't the server's fault.
How do I round a tip for easy payment?
Use our 'Round Up' or 'Nearest 5' options. For example, if your per-person share is $23.47, rounding up makes it $24, or nearest 5 makes it $25. This simplifies cash payments and is slightly more generous.
Is tipping different in other countries?
Absolutely. In Japan, tipping can be insulting. In UK/Australia, 10% is generous but not expected. In France/Italy, service is often included. In US/Canada, 15-20% is standard and expected. Always research local customs when traveling.
