How Much Should You Tip?
Tipping customs vary by country and situation. Here are general guidelines:
Excellent service — 20-25%
Good service — 15-18%
Average service — 10-15%
Poor service — 0-10% at your discretion
Delivery drivers — 10-15% of the order value
Hotel housekeeping — $2-5 per night
Tipping is most expected in the United States where service staff often rely on tips as a significant part of their income. In Australia and the UK tipping is appreciated but less expected.
How Is a Tip Calculated?
A tip is calculated as a percentage of the pre-tax bill amount. Multiply your bill by the tip percentage divided by 100 to get the tip amount, then add it to the bill for the total.
Formula: Tip = Bill × (Tip% ÷ 100)
For example: $65 bill with 18% tip = $65 × 0.18 = $11.70 tip = $76.70 total
FAQs
How do I split a bill with tip between people?
Add the tip to the total bill first then divide by the number of people. For example a $65 bill with 18% tip = $76.70 total ÷ 4 people = $19.18 each. The calculator does this automatically.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Most etiquette guides suggest tipping on the pre-tax bill amount. However tipping on the post-tax amount is also acceptable and increasingly common in the US.
What is the standard tip at a restaurant?
In the US 15-20% is considered standard for good service. In the UK and Australia 10-15% is typical but less expected. In many Asian countries tipping is not customary.
Do I need to tip if a service charge is already included?
If a service charge is already included in your bill you don’t need to add an additional tip. Check your bill carefully for any service charge or gratuity line.
