Overview
Tip and bill-split for restaurants & cafes
Tipping is not customary in Australia — staff are paid award rates, often with weekend penalty loadings. A 5-10% tip for great service is appreciated but never expected.
In the US, 18-20% is standard at sit-down restaurants because tipped wages can be as low as $2.13/hr. When travelling, calibrate accordingly.
Formula
Tip and split
tip = bill × tip% total = bill + tip per person = total / people
