Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard tip percentage?
The standard tip in the US is 15–20% for restaurant service. 15% is considered adequate, 18% is standard, and 20% or more is for excellent service.
How do I split a bill evenly?
Add the tip to the total bill, then divide by the number of people. Our calculator does this automatically.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically correct, but tipping on the total (post-tax) is also widely accepted and easier to calculate.
Do I tip on takeout orders?
Tipping on takeout is optional but appreciated. A 10–15% tip is common for takeout orders, especially for complex orders.
