Tipping Guide

Standard Tipping Ranges

In the US, restaurant tips typically range from 15% to 20% of the pre-tax bill, depending on service quality.

Splitting a Bill Fairly

When splitting among a group, decide whether to split the total evenly or calculate each person's share based on what they actually ordered.

Tipping on Delivery or Takeout

Delivery tips are often smaller than sit-down dining tips, but still appreciated — commonly in the 10-15% range or a flat amount.

International Differences

Tipping customs vary widely by country — some places include service in the bill by default, while tipping is expected in others.

More Things to Know

Tipping for Different Services

Tipping norms vary by service type — restaurants, delivery, salons, and taxis often have different typical ranges, so it helps to know the context before calculating.

Tipping on Large Groups

Some restaurants automatically add a service charge for large groups — check your bill carefully before adding an additional tip on top.

Rounding Up vs. Exact Percentages

Many people round their tip up to a convenient number rather than calculating an exact percentage — this calculator helps you see both options quickly.

Tipping in Cash vs. Card

Some service workers prefer cash tips since they're received immediately, while card tips are usually processed through payroll — either is generally acceptable today.

Additional Context

Tipping for Exceptional or Poor Service

While standard ranges exist, many people adjust their tip up or down slightly based on the quality of service they received.

Group Dining Etiquette

When calculating tips for a shared meal, deciding in advance whether to split evenly or by individual order avoids awkward math at the table.
