How much should I tip?

In the United States, 15-20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for good restaurant service. Other countries have different customs - many include service in the bill already.

How does bill splitting work?

Set the number of people and the calculator divides the total bill including tip equally, showing both the per-person total and the tip share per person.

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

Customary etiquette is to tip on the pre-tax amount, though many people simply tip on the final bill total for convenience.
