Frequently Asked Questions
In the United States, a standard tip is typically 15-20% of the bill amount. For excellent service, 20-25% is common. For average service, 15-18% is appropriate. The tip percentage varies by country and culture.
Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax amount. However, many people calculate tips on the total amount including tax for simplicity. Our calculator uses the bill amount you enter, so you can use either method.
Enter the total bill amount, your desired tip percentage, and the number of people. The calculator will show you the total amount (bill + tip) and divide it equally among all people, giving you the amount each person should pay.
