How does tip calculation work?

A tip (or gratuity) is an extra amount paid to service workers on top of the bill. The tip is calculated as a percentage of the pre-tax bill amount. When splitting among multiple people, both the tip and total are divided equally. This calculator handles all the math instantly so you can focus on enjoying your meal.

• 10% — below average service; considered minimum in the US.
• 15% — average or adequate service; standard baseline.
• 18% — good service; common default for restaurant groups.
• 20%+ — excellent service; the norm for great dining experiences.
• 25%+ — exceptional service or small bills where a larger percentage is appropriate.

Tipping customs vary by country — in the US, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurants; in Europe, 5–10% or rounding up is more common; in Japan, tipping is generally not practiced.
