Frequently asked

How much should we tip when we're out with the family?

In the U.S., 18-20% is standard for sit-down service, even when half the table ordered chicken nuggets. If a server brought extra napkins, refilled the kids' drinks five times, and didn't blink at the spilled apple juice, lean toward 20% or more.

Can we split the bill unevenly?

Yes. Toggle the custom split option and assign different amounts per person. Useful when one couple ordered appetizers and wine while the other stuck to waters and a kids' meal.

Does the tip get calculated on the pre-tax or post-tax total?

You can choose either. Pre-tax is technically the etiquette standard, but plenty of folks tip on the full total to keep the math simple. Both options are one tap away.

Is the tip calculator free to use?

Completely free, no signup, no app download. Open it in any browser on your phone right at the table.

Can the kids use it to learn percentages?

Honestly, yes. It's a sneaky-good way for tweens to see how percentages work in real life. Let them punch the numbers and check the math against the receipt.

What about tipping for delivery or takeout family meals?

Same calculator works fine. For delivery, 15-20% is typical (more in bad weather). For takeout, $2-5 or 10% is a kind gesture, especially for big family orders.

Does this work in currencies other than dollars?

The math is currency-agnostic — enter any amount and the percentages calculate the same. Just remember tipping customs vary a lot by country.
