Frequently asked questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Either is accepted. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is the stricter convention; many people simply tip on the total.
What is a standard tip percentage?
In the United States, 15% is modest, 18% is standard and 20% or more signals good service.
How do I split a bill unevenly?
Calculate each person’s share of the bill first, then apply the same tip percentage to each share.
Does the calculator round to the nearest dollar?
No — it shows exact cents so you can round up yourself if you prefer.
