Tipping Guide
While tipping etiquette varies by country and service, here are general guidelines for the United States:
- 15%: Standard for average service (Lunch).
- 18%: Good service.
- 20%: Excellent service (Standard for Dinner).
- 25%+: Exceptional service.
For large groups (usually 6 or more), many restaurants add an automatic gratuity (often 18%). Always check your bill before adding extra tip.
? Frequently Asked Questions
Etiquette generally suggests calculating the tip based on the pre-tax subtotal. However, many people simply tip on the final total for simplicity.
This calculator automatically splits the bill. Just enter the number of people in your party, and it will show you exactly how much each person owes, including their share of the tip.
In the US, tipping is customary and expected because service industry wages are often lower than minimum wage. In many other countries (like Japan or parts of Europe), tipping is not expected or is included in the service charge.
