FAQ
What is a tip, and how do you calculate it?
A tip is an additional payment given for service, usually calculated as a percentage of the bill total.Formula: Tip Amount = Total Bill × Tip Percentage.For example, if the bill is 100 and the tip rate is 15%, the tip would be 15.
What is the standard tip percentage?
It typically ranges from 10% to 25%, depending on service quality and local customs. Standard restaurants usually fall between 15%–20%, fine dining may be 20%–25%, and takeout or self-service generally requires less.
How much tip is appropriate?
In general, you can give more when the service is good, and the standard amount when the service is average. If the service is exceptionally attentive, offering a bit extra is a nice way to show appreciation; if the service is poor, you may adjust the amount accordingly. Some countries don’t have a tipping culture at all. Ultimately, it depends on your personal judgment and the local customs.
What’s the difference between a tip and a service charge?
A tip is an optional extra amount you give to show appreciation for the service, while a service charge is a fixed fee added directly to the bill by the restaurant and is usually stated on the menu. Some restaurants include both a service charge and tips, while others only use one of the two. Before paying, it's a good idea to check whether the bill already includes a service charge.
