Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the standard tip in India?
A: Tipping is not mandatory in India but is appreciated. 10% is common at restaurants. High-end restaurants often include a service charge of 5-10% in the bill.
Q: Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
A: It is generally accepted to tip on the pre-tax amount, though tipping on the total is also fine and appreciated.
Q: What if someone ordered more expensive items?
A: For fairness, you may want to split based on individual orders. This calculator handles equal splits — for unequal splits, calculate each person's bill separately.
Q: Is a service charge the same as a tip?
A: No. A service charge added to the bill goes to the restaurant. A tip you leave separately goes directly to the staff.
