FAQ
What is Tip Calculator?
An online calculator that provides precise calculation results from your input parameters. All processing happens locally.
How much tip should I leave at a restaurant?
In North America, restaurants typically suggest 15%-20% tips. Excellent service warrants 20%+, average service 15%, and poor service can be reduced accordingly.
Should tip be calculated on pre-tax or post-tax amount?
It's generally recommended to calculate tips on the pre-tax amount. However, many restaurant bills show the post-tax total, and calculating on that is also perfectly acceptable.

Tipping is common in the US, Canada, and similar countries (15%-20% at restaurants). Japan, China, and some other countries don't require tipping as service charges are typically included.
