Frequently Asked Questions

Should I calculate the tip based on the pre-tax or post-tax bill amount?
Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax amount, but many people choose to tip on the total bill for simplicity. Our calculator allows you to enter whichever amount you prefer to use as the base.
Is it appropriate to tip less for poor service?
While tipping reflects service quality in many countries, it’s important to remember that servers often rely on tips as a significant portion of their income. Consider discussing service issues with management rather than reducing tips dramatically.
How does the bill splitting feature work?
Enter the number of people sharing the bill in the “Split Between” field. The calculator will divide both the total bill and the tip amount equally among all participants.
Can I calculate tips for services other than dining?
Absolutely! While the calculator is commonly used for restaurant bills, you can use it for any service where tipping is customary, such as hairdressers, taxi drivers, hotel staff, and more.
What if my country doesn’t have a tipping culture?
In many countries, tipping is not expected as service charges are included in the bill. Our calculator can still be useful when traveling to countries where tipping is customary.
