Frequently Asked Questions

What is a standard tip percentage for good service?

Standard tipping ranges from 15-20% for satisfactory service in most restaurants. For exceptional service, 20-25% is appropriate. Fast-casual or counter service typically warrants 10-15% if tipping is customary.

Should I calculate the tip before or after tax?

Tipping etiquette varies by region, but most commonly, tips are calculated on the pre-tax amount of your bill. Our calculator uses the pre-tax amount by default but can be adjusted to include tax if preferred.

How should I split a bill with uneven food orders?

For uneven splits, use our calculator's "Custom Split" feature to enter individual amounts for each person, and it will calculate tips proportionally based on what each person ordered.
