Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the USA, the standard tip at a sit-down restaurant is 18–20% of the pre-tax bill. For excellent service, 20–25% is common. For counter service or buffets, 10% or a flat $1–2 is typical.
How do I calculate a 20% tip?
To calculate a 20% tip, multiply your bill by 0.20. For example, on a $50 bill: $50 × 0.20 = $10 tip. Your total would be $60. TipQuickly does this instantly — just enter the bill amount.
How do I split a bill between friends?
Add the tip to the total bill, then divide by the number of people. Use the "Split Between" stepper in TipQuickly and it calculates each person's share automatically.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically correct and most common. However, tipping on the full post-tax total is also widely accepted and makes very little difference on most bills.
How much should I tip for food delivery?
For food delivery, tip 15–20% of the order total, with a minimum of $3–5. For orders over $50, 15% is fine. Always tip more during bad weather or for orders requiring extra effort.
