❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a standard tip percentage?

In most countries with tipping culture, 15-20% is standard for good service. 10% indicates average service, while 20%+ is for excellent service. Always check local customs when traveling.

Do I need to tip if service charge is already added?

Check your bill carefully. If a "service charge" or "gratuity" is already added (common for parties of 6+), no additional tip is required unless service was exceptional.

Should I tip on takeout orders?

10% is appropriate for takeout, especially for large orders. The kitchen and packers still work to prepare your food. For small orders, $2-3 is fine.

How do I split the tip when dining with friends?

Our calculator shows both "Per Person (bill + tip)" and "Per Person (tip only)". You can split evenly, or each person can pay based on what they ordered.

Do I tip on the total including tax?

Most etiquette experts recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal. However, many people tip on the total bill including tax for simplicity. Our calculator uses your entered amount - you decide.
