Tipping customs vary widely across countries and contexts, but calculating the right amount shouldn't require mental math. This tip calculator handles the arithmetic instantly — enter the bill, choose a percentage, and optionally split among multiple people. Standard tipping in the United States is 15–20% at restaurants, 15% for taxi and ride-shares, 10–15% for food delivery, and $1–5 per service for hotel staff, bartenders, and barbers. In many European and Asian countries, tipping is not customary or included as a service charge. When in doubt, 15% for adequate service and 20% for great service is a safe guideline at sit-down restaurants.
In the US, 15% is minimum for average service, 18–20% for good service, and 25%+ for exceptional service. The tip is typically based on the pre-tax total, though most people tip on the final amount.
Technically, tips are calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. In practice, many people tip on the total bill amount — the difference is small and makes the math simpler.
Tipping on takeout is optional but appreciated. 10% is considered generous, 5% is common, and $0 is completely acceptable for counter service where no table service was provided.
This calculator splits evenly. For uneven splits, agree on each person's share first, then calculate the tip portion. Alternatively, add the tip to the total and split the full amount evenly.
For customers, the tip you pay is not tax-deductible. For servers, tips are taxable income and must be reported to the IRS or relevant tax authority in your country.
