Frequently Asked Questions

Customary tipping varies by country. In the US: 15% for adequate service, 18-20% for good service, 20-25% for exceptional. In the UK: 10-15% is customary (less common than US). In many Asian countries, tipping is not expected or may even be considered impolite.

Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically correct — you're tipping on the service received, not on the government's cut. However, the difference is small. In practice, most people tip on the total bill for simplicity.

For 20%: double the bill and move the decimal (e.g., $45 → $90 → $9.00). For 15%: find 10% (move decimal), then add half of that. For 18%: find 10%, double it (20%), then subtract 2% (10% ÷ 5). Our calculator is more precise.

Total Bill + Tip = Grand Total. Divide Grand Total by number of people. For $120 bill + 20% tip ($24) = $144. Split 4 ways = $36 per person. Our calculator handles unequal splits and custom tip amounts.

For food delivery: $3-5 minimum, or 15-20% of order value. For grocery delivery: 10-15%. Tip more for large orders, difficult weather, or long distances. Delivery workers often rely on tips as a significant part of their income.

Yes, typically tip on the full bill including alcohol. However, some people tip less on expensive bottles of wine (since service effort doesn't scale linearly). For a $300 bottle of wine, you might tip $15-20 on the wine rather than the full 20%.

A service charge is a mandatory fee added by the establishment (often 10-20%). A tip is a voluntary additional amount. Check your bill — if a service charge is already included, adding another tip may result in double-tipping. Verify if service charges go to staff.
