FAQ

How should I tip when service was exceptional?

Consider increasing the percentage above 20% and optionally leaving a note complimenting your server or mentioning them to management.

What if gratuity is already included?

Enter the remaining percentage you want to add on top of the included service charge, or set the tip percentage to 0% if no extra tip is needed.

Can I use this for delivery drivers or ride-hailing services?

Yes. Adjust the percentage to match customary ranges—for example, 10% to 15% for delivery depending on distance and weather.

How do I handle large parties?

Input the automatic gratuity percentage listed on the receipt and the total headcount so you instantly see the per-person share.

Additional Information

  • Tip amount = bill × (tip percentage ÷ 100).
  • Many U.S. diners calculate gratuity on the pre-tax total, while some regions expect tipping on the post-tax amount—follow the local norm.
  • Rounding the total or per-person split to the nearest dollar is common courtesy when paying in cash.
