Tipping is a customary practice in many countries, particularly in the United States, where it serves as a significant portion of service workers' income. Understanding proper tipping etiquette ensures you show appreciation for good service while supporting workers who often rely on tips to earn a living wage.
The standard tip at restaurants is typically 15-20% of the pre-tax bill, with 15% considered adequate service, 18% for good service, and 20% or more for exceptional service. For large groups (usually 6+ people), many restaurants automatically add an 18-20% gratuity to the bill.
Tipping customs vary by service type. For delivery drivers, tip 10-20% with a $3-5 minimum. Bartenders typically receive $1-2 per drink or 15-20% of the tab. Coffee shops often have tip jars where $1 per drink is appreciated. Food trucks and counter service establishments increasingly accept tips, though lower percentages (10-15%) are standard.
Our calculator helps you quickly determine appropriate tip amounts and split bills fairly among multiple people, making dining out stress-free and ensuring you tip appropriately for the service received.
Standard tipping is 15-20% of the pre-tax bill. Tip 15% for adequate service, 18% for good service, and 20%+ for exceptional service. Consider tipping more for complex orders or exceptional circumstances.
While not mandatory, tipping 10-15% on takeout is appreciated, especially from small restaurants where staff prepare and package your order. Many restaurants share tips with kitchen staff who prepare takeout.
Calculate the total tip on the entire bill, then divide the total (bill + tip) by the number of people. Our calculator makes this easy by automatically computing per-person amounts.
