Frequently Asked Questions

Should I calculate tip on tax?

Standard etiquette suggests calculating the tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but many people tip on the final total for simplicity.

What if the service was bad?

A tip is often considered part of the server's wage in the US. For poor service, 10-15% is common, while talking to a manager is better than leaving $0.

Does this work for any currency?

Yes! The math is the same whether you use Dollars, Euros, Pounds, or Yen. The symbols might say '$' but the numbers are correct.
