    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much should I tip at a restaurant?

    The standard tip in the US is 18–20% for sit-down restaurants. 15% is acceptable for average service, and 25%+ is for exceptional service. For takeout, 10–15% is common but optional.

    Do I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

    Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is technically correct, but many people tip on the total bill for simplicity. The difference is usually small.

    How do I split a bill unevenly?

    This calculator splits the bill evenly. For uneven splits, calculate the total bill with tip first, then divide proportionally based on what each person ordered.

    How do I calculate a 20% tip quickly in my head?

    Move the decimal one place to the left to get 10%, then double it. For example: $85 → $8.50 (10%) → $17.00 (20%).
