Tips & tricks
- The five preset buttons (10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%) are shortcuts — you can also type any custom percentage directly into the Tip % field, including decimals.
- This tool always splits the total bill evenly across everyone — there's no way to assign different amounts to different people based on what they individually ordered; you'd need to do that part manually.
- There's no separate field for tax — if your bill amount already includes tax, the tip will be calculated on that combined total (see the pre-tax-vs-post-tax FAQ for why this usually only changes the result by a dollar or two).
- Nothing is saved between visits — refreshing the page resets the bill amount back to the default.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
Standard US restaurant tips range from 15% (adequate) to 20% (good service) to 25%+ (exceptional). For takeout, 10–15% is common. For counter service, $1–2 per transaction is typical.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?
Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. However, many people tip on the total bill for simplicity — the difference is small (usually $1–3 on a $50 meal) so either approach is fine.
Can I split the bill unevenly between diners?
This tool splits evenly. For uneven splits, note the total-per-person amount and adjust manually based on what each person ordered.
What does tipping etiquette look like for other services?
Hair/beauty: 15–20%. Food delivery: 15–20% (min $3). Hotel housekeeping: $2–5/night. Taxi/rideshare: 15–20%. Movers: $20–50/mover. Bartenders: $1–2/drink.
