Quick mental tipping
10% is one decimal shift ($68.50 → $6.85); 20% doubles that; 15% is 10% plus half again. U.S. sit-down service commonly runs 18–20% pre-tax; counter service is discretionary; delivery typically 10–15% with a minimum.
Splitting fairly
Even splits are simplest and usually fair within a few dollars. For lopsided orders, tip on the shared total but split the base by consumption — or use one person's card and settle by app, which beats making a server run six cards.
Frequently asked questions
What's a standard tip in the US?
For sit-down restaurant service, 18–20% of the pre-tax bill is customary; 15% is the low end for adequate service. Counter service is discretionary, and delivery usually runs 10–15% with a few-dollar minimum. Tipping on the pre-tax amount is standard.
Should I tip on the total or the pre-tax amount?
Convention is to tip on the pre-tax subtotal — tipping on the tax rewards the government rather than the server. The difference is small, but on a large bill it adds up. This calculator applies the tip to the amount you enter.
How do I split a bill and tip evenly?
Add the tip to the bill, then divide by the number of people. The calculator does both at once and shows the per-person total and per-person tip. For uneven orders, tip on the shared total but split the base by what each person ordered.
