How much should I tip?

In the US, 15–20% is standard for restaurants, 15% for delivery, and 10–15% for taxis. In many European countries, service is included and a 5–10% tip is optional.

How is the tip calculated?

The tip is a percentage of the bill amount. Multiply the bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100. The total is bill plus tip.

How do I split the bill with tip?

Add the tip to the bill to get the total, then divide the total by the number of people. Each person pays an equal share.

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

Etiquette varies. Tipping on the pre-tax amount is common and fair, but many people simply tip on the total. Either is generally acceptable.

How do I tip when paying by card?

Many card readers show preset tip percentages (often calculated on the post-tax total) or a custom amount. Add it before the card is swiped or confirm it on screen. Card tips are usually taxed and go on record for the server.

Is tipping mandatory?

It depends on the country and the situation. In the US, tipping is expected for table service — many servers rely on it as part of their income. In Japan, tipping can be considered rude. In most of Europe, service is included and tipping is optional.
