How This Tool Works
A tip calculator helps you quickly determine the right tip amount and split the total bill among multiple people. It calculates based on the pre-tax subtotal (the proper tipping base), your desired tip percentage, and the number of people sharing the bill. Whether you are dining out, ordering delivery, or using a ride-share service, this tool takes the awkwardness out of the math and ensures fair, fast splits every time.
💡 Tips & Best Practices
- 1Standard US restaurant tips: 18–20% for good service, 22%+ for excellent service.
- 2Always tip on the pre-tax subtotal, not the total after tax — unless you want to be extra generous.
- 3For counter service and takeout, 10–15% is increasingly expected in the US.
- 4Check if gratuity is already included for large parties (typically 6+ people) before adding more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Etiquette guides recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal. Tipping on the post-tax total means you are effectively tipping on the sales tax too — generous but not required.
How much should I tip for delivery?
15–20% of the order total is standard for food delivery, with a minimum of $3–5 for small orders. Add a few extra dollars in bad weather or for long-distance deliveries.
