Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant in the US?
15–20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for table service, with 20% now the common default for good service. For counter service, 10% or the suggested amounts on the screen are typical; delivery usually runs 10–15% with a reasonable minimum.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Etiquette says pre-tax, and no server will object. In practice most people tip on the total because it's the number at the bottom of the check — the difference is small either way.
How does the bill split work?
The total including tip is divided evenly by the number of people. Uneven shares (someone had the lobster) are best handled by splitting the items first, then using the calculator per share.
Does this work for currencies other than dollars?
Yes — the math is identical everywhere. Just read the $ as your own currency. Tipping customs differ by country, though: in much of Europe 5–10% or rounding up is generous, and in Japan tipping isn't customary at all.
