How to use the delivery tip calculator
Enter food subtotal, tax and delivery fees, and tip on food (%). Choose the currency for your inputs and read the result as you change the values.
How it works and formula
Tip = food subtotal × tip rate. Order total = subtotal + tax and fees + tip.
Worked example
| Food subtotal | 40 |
|---|---|
| Tax and delivery fees | 6 |
| Tip on food (%) | 18 |
Result
Tip $7.20 · Order total $53.20
Try a second calculation
Start with the USD worked example above and change only tip on food (%) to 20. Select Calculate. Your result should read:
Tip $8.00 · Order total $54.00
Then enter 10 in the same field. Compare the result with the first scenario row. Holding every other input steady lets you see exactly how this one change affects the calculation.
Choosing your inputs
Begin with the food subtotal, then enter the tax and fees that you will actually pay. Include a delivery fee only once. If your app already shows a suggested tip, remove it from the amount used as fees before comparing your own percentage.
How to interpret the result
Use the tip line to enter the gratuity in the app. Use the order total to check the entire payment. If the two order totals differ, look for an applied coupon, small-order fee, or a food subtotal copied before a promotion.
Frequently asked questions
Do delivery fees increase the tip?
The percentage is applied only to food. Fees still count toward the amount you pay.
