How to use this tip calculator
- Enter your bill amount. This is the total before tip — most people in the US tip on the post-tax total since that's what your receipt shows. Use the preset chips ($20–$150) or type the exact number, like 63.50 for a $63.50 dinner bill.
- Choose your tip percentage. Pick from six options: 10% (minimal), 15% (acceptable), 18% (common baseline), 20% (standard good service), 25% (excellent), or Custom, which opens a 0–50% slider plus a number field. 20% is pre-selected as today's US standard.
- Split the bill, if needed. Use the + and − stepper to set the number of people. An $80 bill at 20% tip is $16 tip and $96 total — split four ways, that's $24 each.
- Toggle round-up, if you want. This rounds your tip up to the next whole dollar for easy cash tipping. 20% of $47.50 ($9.50) rounds up to a clean $10.00.
- Read your results. You'll see the tip amount, total bill, per-person breakdown, and a comparison row showing 15%, 18%, 20%, and 25% side by side — handy if you're deciding between two percentages.
- Copy or share your result. Use Copy Result to text the numbers to friends, or Share to send a link with your bill pre-filled — great for group chats settling up after dinner.
The quick bill preset chips are the fastest way to use this calculator repeatedly. At the table, just tap the amount closest to your bill and fine-tune from there instead of typing the whole number each time.
How much to tip — the complete US tipping guide
Tipping is a standard, expected part of dining and service in the United States — it's not optional the way it is in many other countries. The average tip percentage has climbed over the past decade, from a historical baseline of 15% to 18–20% as the new normal for good service today. So if you're wondering what is the correct tip percentage or what is the normal tip amount, the honest answer is: it depends on the type of service and how well it was delivered.
Restaurants & sit-down dining
Standard good service: 18–20%. Excellent service: 22–25%. Even for poor service, most etiquette guides still recommend 10–15% rather than nothing at all, since servers rely on tips for income. At a buffet or self-service counter, tipping is optional — $1–2 per person if staff cleared plates or refilled drinks.
Bars
$1–2 per drink for simple orders, or 15–20% of the tab for cocktails or a running bar tab.
Food delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub)
A minimum of $3–5 regardless of order size, or 15–20% for larger orders over $30. Tip more in bad weather or for long-distance deliveries.
Taxi and rideshare (Uber, Lyft)
15–20% is standard, with a $2–5 minimum on short rides.
Hotels
Housekeeping: $2–5 per night, left daily. Bellhop: $1–2 per bag. Concierge: $5–20 for complex requests.
Salons
15–20% of the total service, tipping stylists and assistants separately when possible.
Is 15% a good tip? It depends — for average restaurant service it's on the low end but acceptable, while for US servers earning a sub-minimum tipped wage, 15% is generally considered the floor, not the goal.
US tipping rules and etiquette — what you need to know
Tipping is expected in the US, not optional for most services. Unlike many countries, US servers often earn a tipped minimum wage — as low as $2.13/hour under federal law — with tips making up the majority of their actual income. Skipping a tip for standard table service isn't just impolite; it can mean a server earns close to nothing for your table.
What is customary tip vs. standard gratuity? A customary tip is the socially expected amount for a given service — usually 18–20% at a restaurant. Standard gratuity refers to an automatic charge, often 18%, added to the bill for large groups (typically 6 or more). Always check your bill before adding an extra tip on top of an automatic gratuity that's already included.
Tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total? Tipping on the post-tax total is the most common real-world practice, even though tipping pre-tax is technically "more correct." The dollar difference is usually small — on a $60 meal, 20% pre-tax versus post-tax might differ by about a dollar.
Easy way to figure out a tip without a calculator: move the decimal one place left to find 10%, then double it for 20%. For $47.50: that's $4.75, doubled to $9.50. For 15%, take that 10% figure and add half of it again. Or just let the calculator above do it instantly.
How to split the bill and tip evenly with a group
Splitting the bill is one of the most common reasons people search for a tip calculator — nobody wants to do fraction math at the table after a big group dinner. This calculator handles it automatically: enter the full bill, choose your tip percentage, set the number of people, and it instantly shows the per-person tip and per-person total.
Here's a real example: six friends go to dinner and the bill comes to $180. At a 20% tip, that's $36 in tip, for a total of $216 — split six ways, everyone owes exactly $36.
One common wrinkle: if someone ordered a lot more than everyone else, an even split can feel unfair. This calculator splits everything equally, so for uneven orders, it's better to itemize each person's items manually or use a dedicated bill-splitting app for itemized totals.
Once everyone agrees on the split, hit Share to send the link straight to the group chat so everyone can verify the math before paying.
Tipping in California and high-cost states — is it different?
If you're wondering how much to tip in California, the percentages themselves don't change — 15–25% is still the range, with 20% remaining the standard for good service. What is different is the wage structure: California requires restaurants to pay servers the full state minimum wage ($16/hour in 2024), unlike states with a lower tipped minimum wage where tips make up most of a server's pay.
Despite the higher base wage, tipping culture in California is just as strong, and 20% is still widely expected for solid table service. One thing to watch for: some California restaurants now add a "kitchen surcharge" or "service fee" line to the bill. This is not a tip — it typically covers rising costs, and servers may not see any of it — so look for a separate tip line before you pay.
Wherever you are in the US, our tip calculator works the same way — just enter your bill amount and select your percentage.
