What is the standard tip percentage?

In the US, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. 20–25% has become more common for excellent service. For delivery, 10–20% depending on distance and order size is typical.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically correct and a bit lower. Tipping on the post-tax amount is simpler and slightly more generous. Most people tip on the total shown on the bill.

How much should I tip at a buffet?

Buffet tips are typically smaller — around 10% — since the service is limited to drink refills and table clearing. If the staff was particularly attentive, 15% is appropriate.

Is tip splitting the same as bill splitting?

No. Bill splitting divides the entire bill equally. Tip splitting only divides the gratuity. Our calculator does both: it calculates the tip first, then divides the total (bill + tip) by the number of people.

Do I need to tip on delivery apps?

Yes — delivery drivers rely heavily on tips. 15–20% of the order subtotal, or a minimum of $3–5 for small orders, is recommended. High-rise deliveries or bad weather warrant higher tips.
