Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate a tip?

Multiply the bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100. An 18% tip on 85.50 is 85.50 × 0.18 = 15.39.

Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?

Etiquette guides often suggest the pre-tax amount, but many people tip on the total. Enter the tax to tip on the pre-tax amount, or leave it at 0 to tip on the whole bill.

What happens when I round up?

Each person's share is rounded up to the chosen step, and the extra money goes to the tip. The results show the new total and the effective tip.

How much should I tip?

It depends on the country and service. In the US 15–20% is common at sit-down restaurants; in many other countries service is included or tips are smaller.
