Frequently Asked Questions
In the US, standard tipping is 15-20% of the pre-tax bill. 15% for adequate service, 18% for good service, 20%+ for excellent service. Some suggest tipping on post-tax total for simplicity.
For 20%: move decimal one place left and double. For $47.50: $4.75 x 2 = $9.50. For 15%: calculate 10% (move decimal) plus half of that. $47.50: $4.75 + $2.38 = $7.13.
Etiquette experts say pre-tax is technically correct, but many tip on post-tax for simplicity. The difference is usually small. What matters more is the quality of service received.
Divide total (including tip) by number of people for equal split. For itemized splitting, calculate each person's items plus proportional share of tax and tip. Our calculator handles both methods.
