What is a standard tip percentage?

In the US, 15-20% is standard for good service. 15% for adequate service, 18% for good service, 20%+ for excellent service. In some countries, tipping isn't expected. Adjust based on local customs and service quality.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Traditionally, tip is calculated on the pre-tax amount. However, many people tip on the total for simplicity. The difference is usually small. This calculator tips on the bill amount before tax.

How do I split the bill fairly?

For equal splitting, divide the total by the number of people. For unequal splitting (different orders), calculate each person's share of the bill, then add proportional tip. This calculator does equal splitting.

What if service was poor?

For poor service, 10% or less is acceptable. For extremely poor service, you might leave no tip, but consider speaking to management instead. Remember that servers often rely on tips for income.

How does tax affect the calculation?

The calculator adds tax to the bill amount, then adds tip. The tip is calculated on the pre-tax bill. Total = Bill + Tax + Tip. This is the most common method.

Is my bill data sent to a server?

No. All calculations happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your bill amount and tip information are never transmitted over the network.
