Frequently Asked Questions
What is an appropriate tip percentage?
In the US: 15% for adequate service, 18% for good service, 20%+ for excellent service. Delivery: 15-18%. Salon/spa: 15-20%. Country customs vary widely; research your location's norms.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Convention varies. Most people tip on pre-tax subtotal in the US, but tipping on the full amount (including tax) is increasingly common. Either is acceptable.
How do I split the bill and tip fairly?
Calculate the total (bill + tip) and divide by the number of people. This tool splits both the bill and the tip equally. Fair if everyone ordered similar prices.
What if service was poor or slow?
If service was genuinely poor, tipping 10-15% is acceptable. However, many service issues are out of staff's control. Consider circumstances before reducing tips drastically.
Do I need to tip at self-service restaurants?
No obligation, but increasingly many self-service/fast-casual places have tip prompts. Tipping $1-2 or 10% is appreciated but optional. Tip if the service added value.
Should I tip differently for takeout vs dine-in?
Yes. Dine-in: 15-20% (servers provide ongoing service). Takeout: 10-15% (staff does less). Delivery: 15-18% (driver handles distance and weather risks).
How do I handle group bills and tips?
Calculate tip on the group total, then split. Or each person calculates their portion including tip. This tool simplifies it: calculate total, then divide equally.
Is tipping expected in other countries?
No. Europe, Asia, Australia typically include service in the bill or don't expect tips. Always research the destination. US tipping culture is notably high compared to elsewhere.
