Common Questions
What does the Tip Calculator estimate?
Calculate a tip, total bill, and split amount per person.
What can change the estimate?
This is an estimate, so taxes, fees, payment timing, compounding, and changing returns can move the result.
Do you calculate a tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Standard etiquette dictates calculating your tip based on the pre-tax subtotal. Tipping on the post-tax amount means you are tipping the server on the government's sales tax, which artificially inflates the gratuity.
How can I quickly estimate a 15% tip?
Find 10% of the bill by moving the decimal one spot to the left. Then, find half of that amount (which equals 5%). Add those two numbers together to get exactly 15%.
