Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I tip at a restaurant?

In the US, 15% is standard for average service, 18-20% for good service, and 20-25% or more for exceptional service. Counter service and takeout typically receive 10-15%. This calculator shows the exact dollar amount at any tip percentage.

How much should I tip for food delivery?

A 15-20% tip is recommended for food delivery, with a minimum of $3-5 for small orders. Tip more for large orders, long distances, or bad weather. Delivery drivers rely heavily on tips as part of their income.

How do regional presets work?

Regional presets are static defaults for common tipping norms and quick-tip buttons. They speed up entry, but you can still manually set any tip percentage and mode values.

Can I split a bill unequally?
