Frequently asked questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax amount?
Etiquette guides say tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is fine, but many people simply tip on the total. The difference is small.
Is a service charge the same as a tip?
Not always. Some restaurants add an automatic service charge for large parties; check the bill so you do not tip twice.
How do I split unevenly?
Calculate each person’s items plus tax and tip separately, or use the even split here as a starting point.
