Tipping etiquette around the world
Tipping customs vary widely by country. In the US, 15–20% is standard for restaurant service. In the UK, 10–12.5% is typical. In many European countries (including Italy), tipping is less expected and a small "coperto" charge is often included. In Japan, tipping is generally not practiced and can even be considered rude.
When in doubt, check local customs before adding a tip.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the US, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. In Europe, 5–10% is typical if not included in the bill. In Italy, a small "coperto" is often already charged; any additional tip is appreciated but not expected.
Do I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Most people tip on the pre-tax amount, but tipping on the total (including tax) is also common and slightly more generous. The difference is typically small.
How do I split a bill unevenly?
This calculator splits the bill equally. For uneven splits, calculate the tip on the total bill first, then split the total (bill + tip) in proportion to what each person ordered.
