Standard Tip Percentages
In the United States, 15 to 20 percent is standard for sit-down restaurants. Fifteen percent is the baseline for acceptable service, 18 percent is common, and 20 percent or more reflects excellent service. Buffets and counter service typically receive 10 percent, while delivery and takeout range from 10 to 15 percent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a 20% tip?
Multiply the bill by 0.20. On a $50 bill, the tip is $10, making the total $60.
Should I tip before or after tax?
Traditionally, the tip is calculated on the pre-tax subtotal, but tipping on the total including tax is common and generally accepted.
