Standard dining etiquette recommends calculating gratuity on the pre-tax bill subtotal to avoid paying tip on local sales taxes.
How does check splitting work with multiple guests?
The calculator adds the bill subtotal and total tip together, then divides the grand total equally by the number of dining guests.

In North American full-service dining, standard tips range from 15% for adequate service to 18%-20%+ for good to exceptional service.
