How much should you tip?

Tipping norms vary a lot by country. In the United States, 15–20% of the bill is standard for restaurant service, with 18–20% seen as generous. In the UK and much of Europe a service charge is often already added, so an extra 5–10% is plenty when it isn’t. In India, restaurants frequently add a service charge too, and a 5–10% tip is common when you want to reward good service. When in doubt, round to a comfortable number.

When you split a bill, the fairest approach is usually to divide the total (bill plus tip) equally between everyone, which is what the per-person card shows here. If your group ordered very differently, you may prefer to split only the tip evenly and have each person cover their own items. There is also the pre-tax versus post-tax question: many people tip on the pre-tax amount, but tipping on the full post-tax total is also common and only adds a little. This calculator works on whatever bill figure you enter, so use the pre-tax or post-tax total depending on your preference.
