Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant in Canada?
15–20% of the pre-tax bill is customary for table service in Canada and the US. Tip toward the higher end for excellent service.
Do I tip on the amount before or after tax?
Traditionally on the pre-tax amount, though many people simply tip on the total for convenience. Either is acceptable — pre-tax just saves a little.
How do I split a bill with tip between friends?
Add the tip to the bill total, then divide by the number of people. This calculator does both steps for you.
Should I tip on takeout orders?
It's optional. Many people tip nothing or a small amount (5–10%) for counter pickup, reserving full tips for table service and delivery.
