About Tipping

How much should I tip at a restaurant?

In the US, 15–20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. 18–20% is considered good service, and 20–25% for exceptional service. For takeout, 10% is common but optional.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Most etiquette guides suggest tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, but many people tip on the total for simplicity. Either approach is acceptable.
