📖 Tipping Culture and Etiquette

Tipping practices vary across countries. In India, tipping 5-10% at restaurants is common for good service. However, many upscale restaurants now add a 5-10% service charge to the bill automatically. Always check your bill before adding extra tip.

Our tip calculator helps you quickly figure out the tip amount, factor in any GST or service charges, and split the total among your group. This is especially useful for group dining where dividing the bill manually can be confusing.

When splitting bills, it's fair to divide the total (including tip and tax) equally among all diners. If someone ordered significantly more expensive items, you can adjust accordingly. Our calculator shows both total and per-person amounts.

For delivery services, a tip of ₹20-50 or 5-10% is appreciated. At bars, ₹50-100 or rounding up the bill is common. Remember, tipping is voluntary in India - reward good service but don't feel pressured beyond your comfort.
