HowMuchToGive helps people find the perfect tip or gift amount — instantly, for free, for every situation in the US.
Tipping in the US is confusing. Standards have shifted — what was 15% a decade ago is now closer to 20%. Different services have different norms. And nobody wants to look cheap or awkward.
Gift-giving is even harder. How much is too little? How much is too much? Does it depend on how well you know them? On the occasion? On your relationship?
HowMuchToGive was built to answer these questions — quickly, clearly, and without judgment.
For tips: select your service type, enter your bill, choose how many people are splitting — and get an instant breakdown with your generosity rating.
For gifts: select the occasion, your relationship to the recipient, and your budget — and get a researched range with specific guidance for your exact situation.
Everything runs in your browser. We don't store your data, require an account, or ask for your email.
Tipping ranges are based on current US industry standards, including guidelines from the National Restaurant Association and major hospitality industry research.
Gift ranges are based on aggregated consumer research, etiquette surveys, and widely-cited publications. We review and update our data regularly to reflect shifting norms.
