The Tip Calculator works out the tip and total for a bill, and splits it between several people.
Tip $8.25, total $63.25
| Tip | $8.25 |
| Total | $63.25 |
| 10% tip | $5.50 · total $60.50 |
| 15% tip | $8.25 · total $63.25 |
| 18% tip | $9.90 · total $64.90 |
| 20% tip | $11.00 · total $66.00 |
| 25% tip | $13.75 · total $68.75 |
In the United States, 15–20% is standard for table service at restaurants, 10–15% for buffets, $1–2 per drink at a bar, 15–20% for taxis, rideshares, hairdressers and food delivery, and $2–5 per night for hotel housekeeping. Customs differ widely in other countries; in Japan tipping is unusual, while many European bills include service.
Tip = bill × tip rate. Total = bill + tip. Split: divide the total by the number of people.
Worked example (defaults): a $55 bill with a 15% tip: $8.25 tip and $63.25 total.
For 10%, move the decimal one place left ($55 → $5.50). Double it for 20% ($11). For 15%, add 10% and half of 10% ($5.50 + $2.75 = $8.25).
Etiquette guides usually suggest tipping on the pre-tax amount, though many people tip on the total for simplicity.
Should I tip on takeout? Optional; 10% is generous.
Is service charge the same as a tip? Not always; check whether it goes to staff.
How do I tip for bad service? Speak to a manager rather than leaving nothing.
