Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I tip at a restaurant?

Standard restaurant tipping is 15–20% for adequate service, 20–25% for excellent service. For takeout, 10% is common. Always tip on the pre-tax amount.

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

Etiquette generally calls for tipping on the pre-tax subtotal since tax is a government charge, not a service charge. However, many people find it easier to tip on the total — the difference is small.

How do I split a bill evenly?

Add the tip to the bill total, then divide by the number of people. Our calculator does this automatically — just set the number of people and it shows the per-person share.
