How do I pick a percentage?

It depends on the country, the type of venue and how you rate the service. The 5, 10, 15, 18, 20 and 25 % buttons cover the most common rates; the custom field accepts any value.

Tip on pre-tax or total?

The tool simply applies the percentage to whatever amount you type in. Enter the figure you want to base the calculation on (before or after tax, up to you).

How to use this tool

A tip is an amount added to a bill to reward service. Practices vary widely by region and by venue — sometimes service is already included, sometimes it's left to the customer's discretion. The quick buttons cover the usual 5-25 % range and the custom field accepts any value. The tool also splits the total fairly among several people — handy for group bills.

Concrete examples

$50 × 10 % = $5 tip, $55 total
$120 × 20 % = $24 tip, $144 total
$80 total split by 4 = $20 each
