Tips & Best Practices

  • 1

    Standard tipping in the US is generally 15% to 20%, but always adjust based on the quality of service.

  • 2

    It is often best practice to calculate the tip based on the pre-tax amount, not the post-tax total.

  • 3

    If one person ordered significantly more than the others, consider itemizing the bill instead of splitting it evenly.

  • 4

    Round the final individual split amount up to the nearest dollar to make cash payments easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I calculate the tip before or after tax?

Etiquette experts generally agree that you should tip based on the pre-tax subtotal, though many people simply tip on the final total for convenience.

What is a normal tip percentage?

In the United States, 15% is standard for average service, 20% for excellent service, and higher for exceptional experiences. Tipping culture varies wildly internationally.

Can I use this if I am dining alone?

Yes. Simply leave the 'number of people' field at 1, and the tool will just calculate your personal total including the tip.

How does it handle uneven splits?

This tool calculates an exact even split. For complex bills where people owe drastically different amounts, it's better to calculate individual items manually.
