Easily calculate tip amount for restaurants, cafes, or services and split the bill.
Tipping etiquette and customs by situation
Tipping is a way to show appreciation for good service. Standard amounts vary by country, service type, and context. Understanding tipping norms helps you avoid under- or over-tipping. Restaurants: In the US, 15% is the minimum for acceptable service, 18–20% is standard, and 25%+ is for exceptional service. In many European countries, 5–10% is typical or rounding up the bill is sufficient. Other services: Taxis and rideshares: 10–15%. Hotel housekeeping: $2–5 per night. Hair salons: 15–20%. Food delivery: $3–5 or 10–15% of the order. Splitting the bill: When dining in a group, the easiest approach is to calculate the total including tip, then divide equally. This calculator handles all scenarios — individual tip, total per person, or custom splits. When not to tip: Counter service, fast food, and self-service restaurants typically don't require a tip. However, tip jars at coffee shops are at your discretion.
