Question 1

How do I split a bill unequally?

Accepted Answer

Use the custom split feature. Enter each person's share of the bill separately, then calculate the tip on each portion. Or calculate the tip on the total and divide proportionally.

Question 2

What is the standard tip percentage?

Accepted Answer

In the US: 15% is considered acceptable minimum, 18% is average, 20% is standard good service, 25% is excellent. For international norms: the UK 10-12.5%, continental Europe 5-10%, Japan tipping not customary.

Question 3

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Accepted Answer

Etiquette varies — either is acceptable. Many people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, which is the amount for the actual food and service.

USA	18–22%	Expected; servers earn ~$2/hr base
UK	10–12.5%	Sometimes added automatically
Spain / Europe	5–10%	Rounding up is common
