What is a Tip?
A tip, or gratuity, is an optional extra payment given to service workers. It's usually calculated as a percentage of the total bill amount to reward good service.
Standard Tipping Norms
In the United States, standard tipping ranges from 15% to 20%. Tipping 18% is typical, while 20% is the standard baseline for good service. Exceptional service may warrant 25% or more.
Reverse Tip Calculation
To find out what percentage you tipped manually, divide the tip amount by the subtotal (before taxes) and multiply by 100. This tool computes it instantly to save you the hassle.
