Frequently asked questions
What is a standard tip percentage?+
In many countries, 10–15% is standard for good service, with 15–20% in the US. In India, a service charge is often already included, so an additional tip may not be expected.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or after-tax amount?+
Most people tip on the pre-tax amount, though some tip on the total. The difference is usually small, but tipping on the pre-tax amount is more common.
How do I split a bill fairly?+
If people ordered different amounts, calculate each person's share based on what they ordered plus their share of the tip. This calculator assumes equal splitting for simplicity.
