Tipping norms vary by country, service type, and situation. In the United States, restaurant tipping culture has evolved over time, and what was once standard has shifted meaningfully in recent years.
💡 Common 2026 US tipping guidelines: Sit-down restaurants: 18–22%. Delivery drivers: 10–20% (or $3–$5 minimum). Bartenders: $1–$2 per drink or 15–20% of the tab. Rideshare drivers: 10–20%. Haircuts: 15–20%. Hotel housekeeping: $2–$5 per night.
When splitting a bill among a group, the cleanest approach is to calculate the total bill including tip and divide evenly. This calculator handles that in one step — enter the bill, the tip percentage, and the number of people, and it shows exactly how much each person owes including their share of the tip.
Technically, tipping on the pre-tax amount is the standard, since the tip is meant to reward service rather than pay sales tax. In practice, most people tip on the post-tax total for simplicity, and the difference is minor. On a $100 bill with 8% tax, tipping 20% on pre-tax comes to $20 while tipping on the total comes to $21.60.
