Frequently asked questions

How much should I tip at a restaurant?

The standard is 15–20% for good service, 20–25% for great service. In the US, 18% is increasingly the baseline. On a $100 bill, that's $18–$20 for the tip.

How do I calculate 20% tip quickly?

Find 10% by moving the decimal left one place, then double it. On a $65 bill: 10% = $6.50, doubled = $13.00 tip. Your total is $78.00.

Should I tip on pre-tax or post-tax?

Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is technically correct, but the difference is small. Either is acceptable. This calculator uses the total bill amount you enter.
