A tip calculator figures out how much to leave at restaurants, bars, taxis, hotels, and delivery services. The standard US tip is 15-20% for sit-down service, 10% for takeout, $1-2 per drink at the bar. In Canada, 15-20% is also standard. This free calculator handles the math instantly and lets you split the bill evenly or by custom amounts.
Enter the bill amount, choose a tip percentage, add the number of people, and we'll show the tip, total, and per-person share. You can also round the total up or down. Works for any currency — just type the amount and the currency symbol.
20-25% is now standard. Anything less is seen as a slight. The trend has been creeping up from 15% to 18% to 20% over the past decade.
18-20% standard for restaurants. 15% is considered tight. 25%+ for exceptional service or upscale dining.
18-20% standard. Same as the US, but in some provinces servers earn regular minimum wage (~$15-17/hr) so the tip dynamic is different.
10-15% standard (propina). Sometimes included as "servicio" on the bill. Check before adding more.
In the US and Canada, 18-22% is standard for sit-down service (most check presenters default to 20%). 15% is acceptable for mediocre service. Below 10% signals real dissatisfaction. For delivery, $3-5 or 15% (whichever is higher) is standard.
Tip on the pre-tax amount (the subtotal before tax). The tax goes to the government, not the server. So if your bill is $50 + $4 tax = $54, a 20% tip is $10, not $10.80.
No. Tipping is expected in the US, Canada, and some Caribbean / Latin American countries. In most of Europe, Australia, and Asia, tipping is not expected (or 5-10% is generous). When traveling, check local customs.
Check your receipt — 'gratuity included' or 'service charge' means no additional tip is expected (though 5% extra for exceptional service is appreciated). Most restaurants only auto-include for parties of 6+.
Not required, but $1-2 or 10% is appreciated for counter service. Tip jars are common — tip when someone made your experience easier, not out of obligation. Coffee shops and fast casual: $1 or round up the change.
