Total = Bill Amount + Tip Amount

Per Person = Total / Number of People

For example, a $50 bill with 18% tip: $50 × 0.18 = $9 tip, $59 total.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I tip at a restaurant?

In the United States, 15-20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. 15% is considered acceptable, 18% is average, and 20% or more is generous. For exceptional service, you might tip 25% or more.

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

Etiquette experts generally recommend tipping on the pre-tax amount, though tipping on the total (including tax) is also common and considered generous. Either approach is acceptable.

What about tipping for takeout?

Tipping for takeout is optional but increasingly common. 10-15% is a nice gesture, especially for large or complex orders. During busy times, any tip is appreciated by the staff who prepare your order.
