Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a tip?
Tip Amount = `(Bill Amount * Tip Percentage) / 100`. Total Bill = Bill Amount + Tip.
What is a good tip percentage?
In the US/Canada, 15-20% is standard. In India and Europe, 10% is polite if service charge isn't included. For exceptional service, 20% + is appreciated.
Should I tip on tax?
Technically, tip should be calculated on the *pre-tax* subtotal. However, most people just calculate it on the final total for simplicity.
What if 'Service Charge' is included?
If the restaurant adds a Service Charge (e.g., 10%), you are NOT obligated to tip extra. That charge is effectively the tip.
How to split bill equally?
Total Payable divided by Number of People = Per Person Share. Our calculator does this for you automatically.
Do I tip for bad service?
Tipping is discretionary. If service was poor, you can leave a smaller tip (5%) or no tip, but providing feedback to the manager is more constructive.
Who gets the tip?
Ideally, it goes to the waiter who served you. In some places, tips are pooled and shared among all staff including kitchen staff.
What is the rule for large groups?
Many restaurants auto-add 'Gratuity' (15-18%) for groups larger than 6 to protect staff from being under-tipped on large efforts.
Do I tip on takeout/delivery?
Delivery drivers rely heavily on tips; 10-15% is good. For takeout (pickup), tipping is optional but 10% is kind.
Is tipping mandatory?
In the US, it is culturally mandatory as wages are low. In India, Japan, etc., it is a bonus, not a requirement.
