Your Indian restaurant bill typically already includes:
If service charge is already on the bill, your additional tip is optional. Many people leave only a small cash tip to the waiter directly (₹50-100) regardless of service charge.
Total bill ÷ number of people. Easiest when everyone ate similar amounts.
Each person pays for what they ordered + their share of taxes and tip. Fair when meals vary widely. Use apps like Splitwise to track.
Round up the per-person amount to the nearest ₹10 or ₹100 — easier with cash, the extra is a small tip.
In India, 10% tip is standard at restaurants if service charge isn't already included. For exceptional service, 15%. Many restaurants include service charge — paying tip on top is optional.
Customarily, tip is on the pre-tax subtotal. Tipping on the GST-inclusive total means you're tipping on the government tax too — your call.
Not required. Service charge is supposed to go to the staff, but in practice it varies by restaurant. If you want to ensure the server gets a tip, leave a small cash tip directly to them.
Use Splitwise app for complex splits. For simple cases, this calculator does equal splits. For itemized splits, multiply tip+tax proportionally to each person's ordered amount.
No. Tipping is voluntary. However, restaurant servers often rely on tips for a significant part of income. If service was good, 10% is appreciated and customary.
