How Much Should You Tip?
Also searched as: tip calculator free | how much to tip | restaurant tip calculator | bill split calculator Optimized for US users with American units and terminology.
The standard tip at sit-down restaurants in the US has risen over time from 15% to 18–20% for good service. Many people now tip 20% as the default for good service and 25% for exceptional. For buffets and counter service, 10% is typical. For delivery, $3–5 minimum or 15–20% of the order, whichever is higher, is the current norm.
How to Split a Bill Fairly
Even splitting divides the total (including tip) by the number of people. Per-person total = (Bill + Tip) ÷ Number of People. Rounding each person's share up to the nearest dollar often works better in practice — you avoid awkward change and the extra cents usually cover the rounding generously.

Etiquette varies. Most guidelines recommend tipping on the pre-tax amount, since the server's service doesn't change based on how much tax you owe. In practice the difference is small — on an $80 bill with 8% tax, tipping 20% on $80 vs $86.40 is a $1.28 difference.
In the US, tipping is expected at sit-down restaurants, bars, taxis, and personal care services. Many service workers rely on tips for a significant portion of their income. Not tipping for good service is considered rude. For counter service, delivery, and other contexts, tipping is appreciated but less rigidly expected.
Tipping customs vary a lot by country — these figures are for the United States. Many countries (Japan, South Korea) don't tip at all, while others add a fixed service charge automatically.
