Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard tip percentage?
In the United States, 15-20% is standard for restaurant service. 18% is commonly considered the baseline for good service, while 20% or more is typical for excellent service.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Either is acceptable, though tipping on the pre-tax amount is more common. The difference is usually minimal — on a $100 bill with 8% tax, the difference between a 20% tip on pre-tax vs post-tax is only $1.60.
How do I split a tip among multiple people?
Add the tip to the total bill, then divide by the number of people. For example, a $100 bill with a 20% tip ($20) totals $120. Split 4 ways, each person pays $30.
How much should I tip for takeout?
For takeout orders, 10-15% is generally considered appropriate. If the order is large or complex, or if the restaurant went above and beyond with packaging, consider tipping closer to 15-20%.
Is this tip calculator free?
Yes, this tip calculator is completely free to use. No sign-up or download required — just enter your bill amount and select a tip percentage.
How do I calculate a tip without a calculator?
For a quick 20% tip, move the decimal point one place left (that gives 10%), then double it. For example, on a $65 bill: 10% is $6.50, doubled is $13.00 for a 20% tip. For 15%, calculate 10% and add half of that.
