Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip?
In the United States, 15% to 20% is standard for table service, with 18% a common default. This calculator lets you set any tip percentage.
Should I tip on the tax?
Tipping on the pre-tax bill is customary, which is how this tool calculates it. Tipping on the full post-tax total is also acceptable and only adds a little.
Why is each share rounded up?
Rounding every share up to the nearest cent guarantees the group always covers the full bill plus tip, so the table is never left short.
Can it split the bill unevenly?
No, this calculator divides the total evenly among all diners. For unequal shares, tally each person's ordered items first, then apply an individual tip on top of each subtotal. A separate itemized split is more accurate when orders vary widely in price.
