Frequently Asked Questions
How is the tip amount calculated?
Tip = Bill Amount x (Tip % / 100). The total bill is Bill + Tip, and per-person amounts divide the total by the number of people.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Either is acceptable. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is more technically correct, but tipping on the total after tax is common and simpler. Enter whichever amount you prefer.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All calculations run entirely in your browser. No data is ever uploaded or stored.
What tip percentage is considered standard?
In the United States, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurant service, with 18–20% common for good service. Rates vary by country and service type.
