Tip Calculator
Calculating a tip on your phone is a familiar restaurant ritual, but if you split a bill across 4 people and the math goes wrong, someone always ends up short. Our tip calculator handles the standard "what is 18%/20%/22% on this bill", splits the result among any number of diners, and even handles the case where you want a round per-person total. Built for restaurants, taxis, bars, hotel housekeeping and any service where tipping is customary.
Tip Amount
How Much Should You Tip in 2025?
Tipping norms have shifted significantly in recent years. In 2025, the standard tip for sit-down restaurant service ranges from 18% to 22%, with 20% widely considered the baseline for good service. For exceptional service, 25% or more is increasingly common.
For takeout orders, a tip of 10%–15% has become customary, though it remains optional. Delivery drivers typically receive 15%–20% of the order total, with a minimum of $3–$5 for smaller orders.
In service industries like hair salons, spa treatments, and hotel housekeeping, 15%–20% remains the norm. Always tip on the pre-tax amount if you want to follow the traditional approach, though many prefer to tip on the full total as a gesture of generosity.
