Get Early AccessFiguring out the right tip can be surprisingly tricky. Different service types, group sizes, and regional customs all affect what you should leave. A simple percentage calculation becomes more involved when you factor in split bills, pre-tax versus post-tax amounts, and automatic gratuity policies. This tip calculator prompt handles all of that in one place, giving you exact amounts and context-aware guidance.
Unlike basic online calculators that only do math, this prompt tells you whether your chosen tip percentage fits the situation. Dining at a sit-down restaurant in the United States calls for a different approach than paying for a rideshare in Europe or tipping at a salon in Canada. The prompt accounts for these differences using the [SERVICE_COUNTRY] and [SERVICE_TYPE] variables, so you get advice that matches where you are and what service you received.

In the United States, the standard restaurant tip is 15% to 20% of the pre-tax bill. For good service, 18% to 20% is common. Exceptional service often warrants 20% or more. This prompt factors in your specific service type and location to recommend the right amount.
Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is the traditional standard in the US. However, many people choose to tip on the post-tax total for simplicity since the difference is usually small. This prompt clarifies which approach applies to your specific situation and calculates the amount accordingly.
Divide the total tip by the number of people for an even split. For individual order splits, each person calculates the tip on their own subtotal. This prompt handles both methods and shows each person's exact share including their portion of the tip.
Yes. The prompt covers ten different service types including rideshares, salons, hotels, bars, spas, delivery, valet, and moving services. Each service type follows different tipping norms and expectations, and the prompt provides specific percentage guidance and etiquette tips based on which service you select.
For food delivery in the US, 15% to 20% of the order total is standard, with a minimum of $3 to $5 for small orders. Factors like distance, weather, and order size can justify tipping higher. This prompt considers these details when making recommendations.
Tipping customs vary widely around the world. In Japan, tipping can be considered rude. In much of Europe, a small 5% to 10% tip is appreciated but not expected. In Canada, norms are similar to the US. This prompt adjusts recommendations based on your selected country.
Automatic gratuity is a mandatory charge added by the restaurant, typically 18% to 20% for large parties of six or more. It counts as the tip, so you do not need to tip extra unless you want to. The Dock Editor can help you check for this before calculating.
