Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant in the US?
15% to 20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for table service, with 18% to 20% typical for good service. Counter service is discretionary, often 0% to 10%.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Convention is the pre-tax amount, though many people tip on the total for simplicity. On a typical 8% sales tax the difference on a $50 bill is under a dollar.
How does splitting the bill work here?
The total including tip is divided evenly by the number of people. For uneven splits (one person had the lobster), split the items first and tip on each share.
