Standard restaurant tip in the US is 15-20% for good service, 20-25% for excellent service. 10-15% for average service or takeout. In the UK, 10-12.5% is standard. In Europe, 5-10% or rounding up the bill is common. Tipping customs vary significantly by country.

Question 2

How do I split a bill evenly among friends?

Accepted Answer

To split a bill: add the tip to the total, then divide by the number of people. Example: $85 bill + 20% tip = $102 total ÷ 4 people = $25.50 each. Our tip calculator does this instantly — enter the bill, select tip percentage, and set the number of people.

Question 3

Is it rude not to tip in the US?

Accepted Answer

In the US, not tipping is generally considered rude for sit-down restaurant service, where servers earn a lower base wage ($2.13/hour federal minimum for tipped workers) and rely on tips for the majority of their income. Tipping 15-20% is the social norm for table service. For counter service and takeout, tipping is optional.
