How much should I tip?
Customs vary widely by country. In the United States 15–20% is standard for table service; in much of Europe service is included and rounding up is enough; in Japan tipping is generally not expected. When in doubt, check local norms.
Tip on the pre-tax amount
Etiquette guides usually recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, but many people tip on the total for simplicity — the difference is small.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a 20% tip quickly?
Move the decimal point one place to the left (10%) and double it. On $64, 10% is $6.40, so 20% is $12.80.
How do I split a bill unevenly?
Use the per-person tip percentage on each person's own items, or calculate the total here and adjust shares manually.
Should I tip on tax?
Traditionally the tip is calculated on the pre-tax amount, but either approach is acceptable.
