Tip Calculator — FAQ

What is a standard tip?
A standard tip at a restaurant is 15% for adequate service. 18–20% is considered good, and 25% or more signals excellent service. For takeout or counter service, 10–15% is common.
How do I split a bill with tip?
Enter the total bill amount, your chosen tip percentage, and the number of people in the 'Number of People' field. The calculator shows the per-person amount including tip automatically.
Do I tip on tax?
Tipping on the pre-tax amount is traditional, but tipping on the total including tax is increasingly common and makes little practical difference on most bills. Either approach is acceptable.
What's a good tip for delivery?
For food delivery, 15–20% of the order total is standard. A minimum of $3–5 is recommended on smaller orders to ensure the driver is fairly compensated regardless of percentage.

How to Calculate a Tip

Calculating a tip is straightforward: multiply your bill by the tip percentage expressed as a decimal. A 20% tip on an $85 bill is $85 × 0.20 = $17.00, making the total $102.00. Common tip benchmarks are 15% for standard service, 18–20% for good service, and 25% for excellent service. For services outside restaurants — such as hair salons, taxi rides, or food delivery — tipping norms vary, but 15–20% is a reliable baseline across most situations.

When splitting a bill among several people, divide the total (bill plus tip) by the number of diners to get each person's share. This calculator handles the arithmetic instantly: enter the bill, set your tip percentage, and adjust the number of people. The result shows the tip amount, total bill, and per-person cost. It removes the mental math at the table so you can focus on the conversation rather than the calculation.
