The calculator uses the following formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates a percentage-based tip on the delivery fee and adds any extra amount you specify.
Details: Tipping delivery drivers appropriately ensures fair compensation for their service, especially since many rely on tips as a significant portion of their income.
Tips: Enter the delivery fee in dollars, the percentage as a decimal (e.g., 0.15 for 15%), and any extra amount in dollars. All values must be non-negative.
Q1: What percentage should I tip?
A: Standard tipping rates are typically 15-20% of the delivery fee, but you may adjust based on service quality.
Q2: Should I tip more for large orders?
A: Yes, consider tipping more for large or heavy orders that require extra effort.
Q3: What if the delivery was exceptional?
A: For exceptional service, you might want to increase either the percentage or the extra amount.
Q4: Is tipping expected for all deliveries?
A: In many countries, tipping delivery drivers is customary and expected as part of good service etiquette.
Q5: What if there's already a delivery fee?
A: The delivery fee often goes to the company, not the driver, so tipping is still important to compensate the driver directly.
