How Much Should You Tip?
Tipping customs in the United States follow some general expectations depending on the service you receive. Here's a quick guide:
| Service Type | Recommended Tip |
|---|---|
| Sit-down Restaurant | 18% – 20% |
| Excellent Service | 25% or more |
| Buffet / Self-Service | 10% |
| Food Delivery | 15% – 20% |
| Bartender | $1–$2 per drink or 15–20% |
| Hair Salon / Barber | 15% – 20% |
| Taxi / Rideshare | 10% – 15% |
Tip Calculation Formula
If you prefer to calculate manually, here's the formula:
Tip Amount = Bill × (Tip % ÷ 100)
Total = Bill + Tip Amount
Per Person = Total ÷ Number of People
For example, a $100 bill with an 18% tip comes to $18 tip, $118 total. Split four ways, each person pays $29.50.
Why Use a Tip Calculator?
Calculating tips in your head — especially after a large meal with a group — can be tricky. A tip calculator removes the guesswork, helps you avoid under-tipping your server, and makes splitting the bill fair for everyone at the table.
