Frequently asked questions
What's a typical tip percentage in the US?
15-20% is common at sit-down restaurants, with 18-20% increasingly typical — but it varies by service type and region, so use whatever fits your situation.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?
Most etiquette guides suggest tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, though many people simply tip on the full bill including tax for simplicity — this calculator uses whatever amount you enter.
