Add your bill total, choose a tip percentage, and split it among friends. See the tip amount and exactly what each person pays.
Tipping customs vary by country and service, but in the United States and Canada a tip of 15–20% is the standard for sit-down restaurant service. Here is a quick reference for common percentages:
| Tip % | On $50 | On $75 | On $100 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% | $5.00 | $7.50 | $10.00 |
| 15% | $7.50 | $11.25 | $15.00 |
| 18% | $9.00 | $13.50 | $18.00 |
| 20% | $10.00 | $15.00 | $20.00 |
| 25% | $12.50 | $18.75 | $25.00 |
You can estimate a tip without a calculator:
| Service | Typical Tip |
|---|---|
| Sit-down restaurant | 15–20% |
| Bar / bartender | $1–2 per drink, or 15–20% |
| Food delivery | 15–20% |
| Haircut / salon | 15–20% |
| Taxi / rideshare | 10–15% |
| Hotel housekeeping | $2–5 per night |
| Takeout (pick-up) | 0–10% (optional) |
Most people tip on the pre-tax amount, but tipping on the full bill (including tax) is common and generous. Either is acceptable; the difference is small.
Tipping for takeout is optional. Many people leave 0–10% for carry-out, or nothing at all. A small tip is appreciated when staff have packed your order and done extra work.
You are never obligated to tip. A lower tip (or speaking to a manager) can be a fair response to genuinely poor service. Tips reward service, and tipping for bad service is not required.
