🧾 How to Use This Tip Calculator

  1. 1.Type the bill total. Either the final check amount or the pre-tax subtotal — tipping on the subtotal is the traditional US approach.
  2. 2.Pick a percentage. 15% adequate, 18% good, 20%+ great service at sit-down restaurants. Use the quick buttons or type any percentage you like.
  3. 3.Add your party size. Splitting with friends? Enter the number of people and everyone sees exactly what they owe — tip included.
  4. 4.Round up if you like. Many people round the total per person up to a clean number — the server keeps the difference, and nobody has to make change.

❓ FAQ

How much should I tip at a restaurant in the US?

15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for sit-down service: 15% adequate, 18% good, 20% or more for great. Delivery is usually 10–15%, and $1–2 per drink at a bar.

Do you tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?

Traditionally pre-tax, but plenty of people tip on the final total for simplicity. The difference is small — and always appreciated.

How do you split a tip between a group?

Add the tip to the bill and divide the combined total by the number of people. This calculator shows both the tip per person and the total per person.
