Dining out with friends should be about the conversation and the food, not the stressful math at the end of the meal. Our Tip Calculator is designed to remove the guesswork from restaurant bills. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or enjoying a five-course dinner, this tool helps you calculate the perfect gratuity and split the total cost among your group in seconds.
While most people know the basics of tipping, calculating percentages on the fly can be tricky, especially when the bill isn't a round number. Just like using a Percentage Calculator for financial tasks, using a dedicated tip tool ensures accuracy. It prevents overpaying or under-tipping and ensures that everyone in your party pays their fair share.
This tool is particularly helpful for large groups. Instead of passing around a receipt and a phone calculator, you can simply enter the total, choose your percentage, and see exactly what each person owes.
Tipping standards vary by country and service type. In the United States, 15-20% is considered standard for sit-down restaurants. For excellent service, many diners choose 22% or 25%. If you are a freelancer calculating your own service costs, you might also find our Freelance Hourly Rate Calculator useful for setting your professional fees.
Remember that for very large groups, some restaurants automatically include a "gratuity" or service charge on the bill. Always check your receipt before adding an additional tip!
Standard etiquette suggests tipping on the pre-tax amount of the bill. However, many people find it easier to tip on the final total. Our calculator works with whatever number you provide, so you can choose the method you prefer.
In the US, 18% to 20% is the current standard for good service at sit-down restaurants. For exceptional service, 25% is common. For buffet-style or coffee shops, 10% or a flat couple of dollars is often sufficient.
