How much should I tip at a restaurant?

In the United States, 15-20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. 10-15% is common for buffets or counter service. For exceptional service or fine dining, 20-25% is appropriate. Tipping customs vary widely by country.

Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. However, many people tip on the total (including tax) for simplicity. The difference is usually small. This calculator uses the amount you enter as the base for the tip.

How is the bill split equally?

The total bill (subtotal + tip) is divided equally among all people. Each person pays the same amount regardless of what they individually ordered. For uneven splits, you would need to calculate individually.

Is tipping expected outside the US?

Tipping norms vary globally. In Japan and South Korea, tipping can be considered rude. In most of Europe, rounding up or a 5-10% tip is common. In Australia, tipping is appreciated but not expected. Always research local customs when travelling.

How do I tip for delivery or takeout?

For delivery, 15-20% is standard (similar to dining in). For takeout, tipping is optional but 10-15% is appreciated, especially for large orders. During busy times or bad weather, consider tipping delivery drivers more generously.
