Question 1

What tip percentage should I leave?

Accepted Answer

15% is considered standard for adequate service, 18-20% for good service, and 20-25% for excellent service. In some countries, tipping is not customary.

Question 2

Can I split the bill unevenly?

Accepted Answer

This calculator splits the total bill equally. For uneven splits, calculate each person's share separately and adjust their tip accordingly.

Question 3

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Accepted Answer

Convention varies — in the US, tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically correct but tipping on the total is also widely accepted. The difference is usually small.

Question 4

Does the calculator handle different currencies?

Accepted Answer

The calculator uses $ as a symbol but works for any currency. Enter your amount in your local currency and the proportions are the same regardless.
