Question 1

How do I calculate a tip?

Accepted Answer

Enter your bill amount, select a tip percentage (common options are 15%, 18%, or 20%), and enter the number of people splitting the bill. The calculator shows the tip amount, total bill, and amount per person instantly.

Question 2

What is a standard tip percentage?

Accepted Answer

In the United States, 15-20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. 18% is increasingly common as a baseline, while 20% or more is typical for excellent service. For counter service or takeout, tipping is optional but appreciated.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Etiquette varies, but most people tip on the pre-tax subtotal. However, tipping on the post-tax total is also perfectly acceptable and often easier since it's the final number on your receipt.

Question 4

How do I split a bill evenly?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'Number of People' field to divide the total bill (including tip) equally among your group. The calculator will show exactly how much each person should pay, making it easy to collect money or use payment apps.
