About this calculator
Tipping etiquette in the US: 15% acceptable, 18-20% standard, 22%+ for great service. The math is simple but the splitting can be tricky — this calculator handles even-split among any number of people, computing on subtotal (the polite convention).
Frequently asked
Tip on pre-tax or post-tax?+
Pre-tax is the polite/standard convention in the US. Post-tax means you're effectively tipping the government 18% too. This calculator uses pre-tax tip.
What's a good tip in the US?+
18-20% is standard for sit-down. 15% for OK service. 22-25% for great service or large parties.
What about Europe / other countries?+
Service is often included; tipping is much smaller (5-10%) or just rounding up. Check local custom.
Should I tip on alcohol?+
Yes — alcohol counts as part of the bill. Bartenders/servers don't earn separate wages on it.
How to handle uneven shares?+
This calculator splits evenly. For weighted splits (people had different orders), use a dedicated bill-splitter app.
