Tipping Etiquette
Tipping standards vary worldwide. In the US, 15-20% is standard for good service. In many European countries, a service charge is often included, and small tips (5-10%) are appreciated but not mandatory.
"Good service deserves good recognition."
The Psychology of Tipping
Tipping isn't just about math; it's a social ritual. Research shows that tipping behavior is influenced by factors like eye contact, the waiter's name introduction, and even the weather.
Our calculator ensures that you can handle the math quickly and discretely, allowing you to focus on the dining experience rather than the mental arithmetic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip on tax?
Most people tip on the pre-tax amount. However, if the service was exceptional, tipping on the final total including tax is a generous gesture.
How do I split the bill for groups?
Our "Number of People" field handles this automatically. It divides the total bill (including tip) equally among all participants.
Is tipping required for takeout?
While not as mandatory as sit-down service, a tip of 5-10% for the staff who packaged your order is often appreciated.
What if the service was bad?
A lower tip (10%) is often used to signal poor service. For extremely poor service, it is often better to speak with a manager than to leave no tip at all.
