Did you know? The practice of tipping originated in 17th century England, where patrons would slip money to servers "To Insure Promptitude" (TIP). Today, tipping customs vary worldwide, with 10-20% being standard in most countries.
Thousands of diners use our Tip Calculator because:
| Service Level | Percentage | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Service | 5-10% | Minimum acceptable service |
| Average Service | 10-15% | Standard satisfactory service |
| Good Service | 15-18% | Better than average service |
| Excellent Service | 18-20% | Exceptional dining experience |
| Outstanding Service | 20%+ | Extraordinary service worth rewarding |
The tip amount is calculated using this simple formula:
Tip Amount = Bill Amount × (Tip Percentage ÷ 100)
For example, on a ₹1,200 bill with 15% tip:
Tip = 1200 × (15 ÷ 100) = ₹180
Total Bill = ₹1,200 + ₹180 = ₹1,380
| Country | Customary Tip | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 15-20% | Expected in restaurants |
| Canada | 15-20% | Similar to US standards |
| United Kingdom | 10-15% | Often included as service charge |
| Australia | Not expected | Optional for exceptional service |
| Japan | Not customary | Can be considered rude |
| India | 5-10% | Service charge often included |
Generally, tip is calculated on the pre-tax amount. However, many people tip on the total bill for simplicity. Our calculator works either way - just enter the amount you want to base the tip on.
For takeout orders, 5-10% is customary if there's no service charge. Some people round up or tip ₹20-50 for small orders.
Yes, tipping reflects service quality. For poor service, 5% or less is appropriate. For terrible service, speak with a manager rather than leaving no tip.
If service charge is already added (common in India and Europe), additional tip isn't required unless service was exceptional.
Our calculator makes this easy! Enter the total bill, select tip percentage, and specify how many people are splitting the bill.
