Tips for Splitting Fairly
Tip on subtotal, not total
Tipping on the pre-tax amount is standard and fair in the US — tipping on the tax-inclusive total is a quiet upsell.
Know the local norm
US: 15–22%. UK/Europe: 10–12% or service charge included. Japan/South Korea: no tipping expected.
Round up to the nearest dollar
Rounding up avoids awkward cents and is generally appreciated by servers.
Cabs & deliveries too
Rideshare and food delivery drivers rely on tips — 15–20% of the fare is a fair range.
Tip on subtotal vs. tip on total — which is right?
Tip on the subtotal (pre-tax) is the US etiquette standard. Tipping on the total (post-tax) adds roughly 0.5–1% more to the tip — fine if you want to be generous, but not expected.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a 20% tip quickly?
Divide the bill by 5 — that's your 20% tip. For $60, 20% = $12. Spllito does this automatically and also splits the final total across your group.
How do you split a tip between multiple people?
Calculate the full tip on the bill, add it to the subtotal (and tax) to get the grand total, then divide by the number of people. Spllito does every step for you.
Is 15% a good tip in 2026?
15% is the low end of acceptable for sit-down service in the US. 18–20% is now standard for good service, and 20%+ is common in major cities.
Do I tip on tax?
Technically no — etiquette says tip on the pre-tax subtotal. But many people tip on the total for simplicity. Spllito supports both.
