FAQ
How much should I tip?
In the US, 15–20% of the pre-tax bill is the standard range for sit-down restaurant service, with 18–20% typical for good service. For delivery, bars, or casual counter service, 10–15% or a flat few dollars is common. Norms vary a lot outside the US, so it's worth checking local expectations when traveling.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is technically more correct since sales tax isn't part of the service being tipped, but in practice most people just tip a percentage of the total on the receipt — the difference is usually small.
How do you split a bill evenly?
Add the tip to the bill to get the total, then divide by the number of people. This calculator does that automatically — enter the bill, choose a tip percentage, and set how many people are splitting it to see the per-person amount.
What's a good tip for bad service?
Opinions vary — some people still tip a reduced amount (around 10%) rather than nothing, on the reasoning that servers often rely on tips as a large part of their income even when an individual experience falls short.
How much is a 20% tip on $50?
A 20% tip on a $50 bill is $10.00, bringing the total to $60.00 — see the chart above for other common percentages.
How much is an 18% tip on a restaurant bill?
18% of the bill — for example, $9.00 on a $50 bill, for a $59.00 total. Enter your own bill amount above to get the exact figure.
Do I tip more if there's a large group?
Some restaurants automatically add an 18-20% “auto-gratuity” for large parties (often 6-8+ people) — check your receipt before adding another tip on top, since it may already be included.
