Common tipping guidelines
In the U.S., 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurant service, with 18–20% typical for good service and 25%+ for exceptional service. Splitting the total (bill + tip) evenly is the simplest approach for groups — some parties instead split only the bill evenly and tip separately based on individual orders, which this calculator doesn't cover since it depends on what each person ordered.
Frequently asked questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?
Etiquette guides differ, but tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is the more common convention in the US. This calculator lets you use either — check which figure you typed in.
What's a standard tip percentage?
15% is generally considered the baseline for adequate table service in the US, 18–20% for good service, and 20%+ for exceptional service — though local norms vary a lot outside the US.
How does splitting the bill change the tip per person?
The total tip is calculated first, then divided evenly across the group size you enter — so it only works cleanly when everyone is splitting equally, not when people ordered very different amounts.
