Take the bill and multiply it by the tip rate written as a decimal to get the tip amount, then add it to the bill for the total. Enter the amount above and the calculator does both steps for you.
Multiply the pre-tax bill by the tip percentage expressed as a decimal, then add that result to the bill to get what you actually pay. If you're splitting, divide the total by the number of people.
Move the decimal point one place to the left to get ten percent of the bill, then double it. That mental shortcut gets you to a twenty percent tip in a couple of seconds without a phone.
Multiply the amount by the percentage as a decimal to get the answer. The quick version: shift the decimal one place left for ten percent, then double it.
For sit-down restaurant service in the US, the customary tip is a fifth of the bill, with a bit less for adequate service and more for excellent service. Counter service, takeout and coffee shops are usually tipped at lower rates or not at all.
No, it's the standard rate for table service in the US and what most servers expect. Anything above it reads as generous rather than normal.
In a US sit-down restaurant, yes — servers generally read it as a signal that something went wrong, since the customary rate is roughly double that. In many other countries it's a perfectly normal or even generous tip.
Tipping norms haven't shifted much: full table service still gets the customary restaurant rate, bartenders a set amount per drink, delivery drivers a percentage with a minimum, and counter service whatever you think the interaction was worth. Prompted screens at checkout suggest higher rates, but you're free to adjust them down.
Yes, that's exactly the standard rate for full table service in the US and is considered a solid tip. Bump it up for large groups, complicated orders or unusually good service.

Using this tool is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
Tipping customs vary by country and service type, but in the United States, here are the widely accepted guidelines:
When in doubt, 18% to 20% is a safe and respectful choice for most service-industry workers in the US.
In many countries, especially the United States, tipping is not just a courtesy — it's a significant part of a service worker's income. Many restaurant servers earn a base wage well below the federal minimum wage, relying heavily on tips to make ends meet. Leaving a fair tip shows appreciation for good service and directly supports the people who wait on you.
Even in countries where tipping is less common, rounding up the bill or leaving a small gratuity is always a welcome gesture for exceptional service.
Group dinners can get complicated fast. When everyone orders something different, calculates tax, and tries to figure out who owes what, it becomes a headache. Our tip calculator handles the math for you:
No more awkward moments at the table fumbling with phone calculators. Get the answer in one place, quickly and accurately.
If you're ever curious about the math behind the calculator, here's how it works:
For example, if your bill is $80 and you want to leave a 20% tip with 4 people splitting it: Tip = $80 × 0.20 = $16. Total = $80 + $16 = $96. Per person = $96 ÷ 4 = $24 each.
Beyond the numbers, here are a few best practices to keep in mind:
The standard tip at a sit-down restaurant in the US is between 15% and 20% of the pre-tax bill. For exceptional service, 20% or more is a wonderful way to show your appreciation. For average service, 15% to 18% is perfectly acceptable.
Tipping on the pre-tax (subtotal) amount is the standard practice and what most etiquette experts recommend. However, tipping on the post-tax total is also common and simply means a slightly larger tip — which your server will certainly appreciate.
Our tip calculator splits the bill evenly among all people entered. If your group wants to split unevenly based on individual orders, you may need to calculate each person's share separately and then apply the tip percentage to each portion individually.
In the United States, not tipping is generally considered disrespectful in full-service dining situations, as servers depend on tips for the majority of their income. In other countries, tipping customs vary significantly — always research local norms before traveling.
