Frequently Asked Questions
What tip percentage is standard?
15% is considered the baseline for satisfactory service, 18–20% is standard for good service, and 25%+ is for exceptional service. Tipping customs vary by country — in the US tipping is expected in restaurants; in many European countries service charges are often included in the bill.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Most etiquette guides suggest tipping on the pre-tax subtotal. However, many people simplify by tipping on the total. The difference is usually small — on a $100 bill with 8% tax, tipping on pre-tax vs post-tax is about $1.20 difference at 15%.
How do I split the bill evenly?
Increase the "Number of People" using the + button. The calculator divides the total bill (including tip) equally. For unequal splits, calculate your individual share manually by adjusting the bill amount per person.
Can I use a custom tip percentage?
Yes — type any tip percentage into the custom field (e.g., 12.5 for 12.5%). The percentage buttons will deselect and your custom value will be used for the calculation.
