How this calculator works
The tip is the bill multiplied by the percentage, and the total is bill plus tip — divided by the number of people for a split. Worked example: a $50 bill at 18% tipped is $9.00, for a $59.00 total; split two ways that is $29.50 each. For a 20% tip on a $75 dinner you would leave $15, totaling $90.
Frequently asked questions
What percent tip should I leave?
15% is the traditional minimum for sit-down service in the US, 18% the common default, and 20% the norm in larger cities or for good service. Tip on the pre-tax amount of the bill unless the restaurant states otherwise.
Do I tip on tax?
Standard practice is to tip on the pre-tax amount, but many people tip on the full total — it only changes the tip by a few cents to a dollar. Whatever you choose, be consistent.
What about delivery and other services?
Delivery drivers commonly get 10–20%, bartenders $1–2 per drink or 15–20% of the tab, and hair/nail services 15–20%. App-based services usually default to 15–20% prompts — adjust down for poor service, up for exceptional.
Should I tip on the original or discounted amount?
Etiquette guides say tip on the original, pre-discount amount of the bill — the service was performed on the full order, and the restaurant staff are not responsible for your coupon.
