Calculate tips, split bills, and determine total costs. Perfect for restaurants, delivery, and services.
Enter bill amount to calculate tip
Example: $50 bill with 20% tip = $50 × 0.20 = $10 tip → Total = $60
For 15% tip: Find 10% (move decimal left), then add half of that
For 20% tip: Find 10% (move decimal left), then double it
For 18% tip: Find 10%, then add 10% minus 2%
Example for $47 bill and 20% tip: 10% = $4.70, double it = $9.40
Always calculate the tip on the total bill first, then divide by number of people.
It's standard to tip on the pre-tax amount, but some people tip on the total (post-tax). The difference is small - for a $100 pre-tax bill with 8% tax and 20% tip:
| Service Type | Standard Tip | Excellent Service |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant (dine-in) | 15-20% | 20-25% |
| Bartender | $1-2 per drink | 20% of tab |
| Food delivery | 15-20% | 20-25% |
| Taxi/Rideshare | 10-15% | 15-20% |
| Hair stylist | 15-20% | 20-25% |
| Hotel housekeeping | $2-5 per night | $5-10 per night |
| Valet parking | $2-5 | $5-10 |
| Takeout/Counter | 0-10% | 10-15% |
15-20% is standard for good service in the United States. For excellent service, 20-25% is appropriate. For poor service, you can tip less, but consider speaking with a manager about issues rather than not tipping.
The standard practice is to tip on the pre-tax amount (the subtotal before sales tax is added). However, both are acceptable, and the difference is usually small. Some people find it easier to calculate on the total.
Move the decimal point one place to the left (10% of the bill), then double that number. For example, on a $45 bill: 10% = $4.50, doubled = $9.00 tip.
Calculate the total tip on the full bill first, add it to the bill for the grand total, then divide by the number of people. Don't calculate individual tips - it's more accurate to tip on the full amount.
Tipping on takeout is optional but appreciated. 0-10% is common for takeout, with 10-15% for more complex orders or excellent service. Full-service delivery typically gets 15-20%.
Check your bill carefully. If a service charge or gratuity is already added (common for large parties), you don't need to tip additionally unless you want to for exceptional service. The charge typically goes to staff.
15-20% of the order total, with a minimum of $3-5. Consider tipping more for bad weather, long distances, large orders, or complex deliveries like carrying items upstairs.
Yes, but consider the reason for poor service. If it's the server's fault (rude, inattentive), you can reduce the tip to 10% or less. For kitchen issues (slow food, wrong order), consider that may not be the server's fault.
