Tip Calculator FAQs

Should I tip on the total bill including tax?

Standard practice is to tip on the pre-tax amount. However, some people prefer to tip on the total including tax, especially if the service was exceptional.

What's the difference between 15%, 18%, and 20% tips?

15% is standard for adequate service, 18% for good service, and 20% or more for excellent service. Many restaurants now suggest 18-20% as the new standard.

How do I split the bill evenly among friends?

Use the "Split Between" feature to divide the total bill (including tip and tax) evenly among all people. The calculator will show each person's share.

When should I tip more than 20%?

Consider tipping 22-25% for exceptional service, large groups (6+ people), during holidays, or when the server goes above and beyond expectations.

Is it okay to tip less than 15%?

Only tip less than 15% for genuinely poor service. If service was terrible, speak with a manager first. Remember that servers often share tips with other staff.
