A tip calculator is a convenient tool that helps you quickly calculate the appropriate tip amount for various services like restaurants, food delivery, bars, taxis, and more. It eliminates the mental math and ensures you tip fairly based on service quality. Our calculator is designed based on industry standards and real-world tipping practices to provide accurate, reliable results.
Our advanced tip calculator goes beyond basic calculations by offering bill splitting features, custom tip percentages, service quality presets, and the ability to include tax and discount amounts for accurate calculations.

Example: For a $50 bill with 20% tip: $50 × 0.20 = $10 tip

Example: $60 total ÷ 4 people = $15 per person

Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax amount. However, many people tip on the total including tax. Our calculator lets you choose your preference by allowing you to add tax separately.
In the US, standard tip percentages are 15-20% for good service, with 18% being most common. Exceptional service may warrant 20-25%. If service quality is below expectations, consider speaking with management rather than reducing the tip significantly. These percentages help support service workers who often rely on tips as a significant part of their income.
Enter your bill amount, select your tip percentage, and enter the number of people. The calculator automatically divides the total (bill + tip) by the number of people to show each person's share.
Yes, 15% is generally acceptable for standard service. However, 18-20% has become more common in recent years, especially in urban areas and for excellent service.
For takeout, 10% is typical since there's minimal table service, though tipping is appreciated for the preparation and packaging effort. For delivery, 15-20% is standard, with a minimum of $3-5 depending on distance, weather conditions, and order complexity.
Yes! Our tip calculator works for any service. For delivery, consider factors like distance, weather, and order size when selecting your tip percentage.
If you experience poor service, the best approach is to speak with management about the issues. This helps improve service quality for future customers. While you can adjust your tip to reflect your experience, remember that servers often rely on tips as a significant part of their income, and service issues may be due to factors beyond their control.
Enter the total bill amount and the number of people in your group. Many restaurants add automatic gratuity (18-20%) for parties of 6 or more, so check your bill first.
Rounding up is common and appreciated. If your calculated tip is $8.73, rounding to $9 or $10 makes payment easier and is a nice gesture to your server.
For buffet-style dining, 10% is typical since service is limited. If a server brings drinks and clears plates frequently, consider 15%.
While you can tip any amount, tipping below 15% typically signals dissatisfaction with service. In the US, servers often rely on tips as a significant part of their income. If you experienced poor service, consider discussing concerns with management to help improve service quality.
