When to Tip (and When Not To)
Tipping customs vary by service industry and country. In the US, standard tipping practices include:
- Restaurants: 18-20% for table service
- Takeout/Counter service: Usually none, but rounding up is appreciated
- Food delivery: $3-5 minimum or 15-20%
- Bars: $1-2 per drink or 15-20% if served at table
- Hotel services: $1-5 depending on service type
Cultural Differences
Tipping customs vary significantly around the world. In some countries, a service charge may already be included in the bill, while in others, tipping may be considered inappropriate or even rude. This calculator is primarily designed for US customs.
Splitting Tips
When splitting a bill with others, you have a few options:
- Split the entire total equally (including tax and tip)
- Have each person pay for their own items plus their portion of the tip
- Round up the total to a convenient number
Digital Payments
Many digital payment systems now include tip options. The convenience of digital payments has made it easier to calculate and add tips, but it's important to remember the standard percentages regardless of the payment method.
