FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much should I tip?

In the US: 15-20% for sit-down restaurants, 10-15% for takeout/delivery. In India: 5-10% or round up. In Europe/Australia: tipping is optional (service included). Always check if service charge is already added.

How is tip calculated?

Tip Amount = Bill × (Tip Percentage / 100). Total = Bill + Tip. Per person = Total / Number of people.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Etiquette says tip on the pre-tax subtotal. But most people tip on the total (including tax) for simplicity. Either is acceptable.

How do I split the bill evenly?

Set the "Split between" field to your group size. The calculator divides the total (bill + tip) equally among all people.
