Tipping Around the World

Tipping customs vary wildly by country, and getting them wrong can be embarrassing. In the United States, servers often earn below minimum wage with tips making up the difference, so 15-20% is expected for table service and around 10% is common for takeout or delivery. Canada follows a similar pattern. Across much of Europe, a service charge is already baked into the bill β€” rounding up or leaving small change is appreciated but not required. In Japan and South Korea, tipping is generally not practiced at all and can even cause confusion. When in doubt, a quick check of local etiquette saves you from over- or under-tipping.

A related point of confusion is whether to calculate the tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total. Traditional etiquette says pre-tax, since tax goes to the government rather than the server β€” though plenty of people simply tip on the final total for convenience, and nobody will object.

Use Cases

  • Splitting a restaurant check evenly among friends
  • Calculating gratuity for food delivery and rideshare drivers
  • Budgeting tips for hotel housekeeping and valet during a trip
  • Quickly checking what 18% of an awkward bill like $47.63 actually is

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I tip?

In the US, 15-20% is standard for restaurants.

How do I split the bill?

Enter the number of people and the calculator divides the total evenly.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Either is fine, but traditional etiquette says the pre-tax amount, since the tax goes to the government rather than the server.

Is tipping expected outside the United States?

Not always. Many countries include a service charge or pay full wages, so tipping is optional or even unusual there.
