Frequently Asked Questions

Should I tip on the total with tax?

Etiquette experts generally agree you should tip on the **pre-tax** subtotal. Tipping on the tax means you are tipping the government, not the server.

What does "Gratuity Included" mean?

Some restaurants (especially for large groups of 6+) automatically add a 18-20% service charge. Check your bill carefully so you don't accidentally tip twice!

How much should I tip for bad service?

In the US, 10-12% signals dissatisfaction without being hostile. Leaving 0% is often considered rude unless the service was catastrophic. Speaking to a manager is more effective than stiffing the server.

Do I need to tip on takeout?

It is optional but appreciated. A tip of 10% or a few dollars is common for the effort of packaging and assembling the order.

Is tipping mandatory?

Legally, no. Culturally, yes—especially in the US where minimum wage for servers is lower than standard minimum wage (the "tipped minimum wage").

What is the standard tip for food delivery?

15-20% is standard. Consider tipping more during bad weather or for large/heavy orders.

How do I split the bill fairly?

This calculator assumes an even split. If orders varied significantly (e.g., one person had steak and wine, another had a salad), it's fairer to calculate individual totals.

Do I tip on a credit card machine?

Yes. Be careful with preset percentages on card terminals; sometimes they are calculated on the post-tax total.

What if I have a coupon?

Always tip on the **original price** before the discount. The server did the work for the full meal value.

Is cash better than credit for tips?

Servers often prefer cash because they receive it immediately (and don't pay credit card processing fees on it), but both are acceptable.
