What Is a Tip Calculator?
A tip calculator helps you quickly determine the appropriate gratuity to leave at a restaurant, bar, salon, or any service where tipping is customary. Enter your bill amount, select a tip percentage, and optionally split the total among multiple people to see exactly what each person owes.
Tipping customs vary around the world, but in the United States, a 15%–20% tip is standard for sit-down restaurant service. Many people find mental math stressful, especially after splitting a bill among friends. This calculator eliminates that friction by showing tip amounts for multiple percentages side by side, so you can make a quick and confident decision. Whether you are dining alone or splitting a large group check, the tip calculator gives you instant, accurate results that account for the bill total, your chosen gratuity rate, and the number of people at the table.

Tipping Etiquette & Tips
Standard Restaurant Tip
In the US, 15%–20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. Tip 20% or more for exceptional service. For poor service, 10% is generally the minimum.
Tip on Pre-Tax Amount
Calculate your tip based on the pre-tax subtotal of your bill, not the total after tax. This is the standard practice in most US states.
Delivery and Takeout
For food delivery, tip 15%–20% or at least $3–$5 for small orders. For takeout, a 10% tip is a nice gesture but not always expected.
International Tipping
Tipping varies globally. In many European countries, a small rounding up is sufficient. In Japan, tipping can be considered rude. Research local customs when traveling.
