How much should I tip at a restaurant?
It depends on the country. In the US, 15-20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. In the UK, 10-15% is common. In most of Europe, 5-10% or rounding up is typical. In Japan, tipping is considered rude. This calculator shows customs for each country.
How do you calculate a tip?
Multiply the bill amount by the desired tip percentage. Example: on a $50 bill with a 15% tip, the tip is $50 × 0.15 = $7.50. The total will be $57.50. If splitting among multiple people, divide the total by the number of diners.
Should I tip on the total or subtotal?
In the US, it's customary to tip on the pre-tax subtotal. In Europe, where tax is already included in prices, you tip on the total bill amount. This calculator includes a pre-tax option for this purpose.
When is it appropriate not to tip?
In countries like Japan, South Korea, and China, tipping is not customary and can be considered offensive. In many European restaurants, a service charge is already included. Always check your bill for a “service charge” before adding extra.
How do I split a bill with tip among friends?
Calculate the total (bill + tip), then divide by the number of people. Example: $120 bill + 18% tip ($21.60) = $141.60 total. Split 4 ways = $35.40 per person. This calculator does the split calculation automatically.
How much should I tip a taxi driver?
In the US, 15-20% is standard. In the UK, round up to the nearest pound or add 10-15%. In continental Europe, rounding up is common. In Asia, tipping taxi drivers is generally not expected. Use the “Taxi” preset in the calculator for appropriate percentages.
Should I tip for food delivery?
Yes, in most Western countries: 10-20% in the US, 5-10% in Europe. Consider the distance, weather, and order complexity. For small orders, a flat tip of $2-3 is common and appreciated.
Does service quality affect how much I should tip?
Yes. In the US: poor service 10%, average 15%, good 18-20%, excellent 20-25%. In Europe tipping is more discretionary. Use the “Service quality” selector for a personalized suggestion.
Can I tip with a credit card or digital payment?
Yes, most POS terminals and payment apps allow you to add a tip when paying by card or smartphone. In many US restaurants, the terminal automatically suggests percentages like 18%, 20%, and 25%. You can also leave a cash tip separately if you prefer.
How much should I tip a hairdresser?
In the US, tipping a hairdresser 15-20% of the service cost is standard. In Europe it is less common but appreciated: 5-10% in Italy, rounding up in the UK. For longer or more complex services (coloring, treatments) a more generous tip is appropriate.
