In the US, 15–20% is standard for table service. Round up for great service — your server will notice.
How it works
The tip is the bill multiplied by your chosen percentage. An 18% tip on an $85 bill is 85 × 0.18 = $15.30, bringing the total to $100.30. Splitting divides that total evenly across everyone at the table.
US tipping norms: 15% is baseline for table service, 18% is standard, and 20%+ signals great service. Counter service and takeout are typically 0–10%, while delivery usually runs 10–15% with a reasonable minimum.
One point of etiquette debate: tipping on the pre-tax versus post-tax amount. Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is technically standard, but most people just use the bill total — on a typical restaurant bill the difference is under a dollar.
Tip = bill × (tip% / 100)
Total = bill + tip
Per person = total / number of people
Example: $85 × 0.18 = $15.30 tip → $100.30 total → $50.15 each (2 people)Frequently asked questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
In the US, 15–20% of the bill is customary for sit-down service: 15% for adequate service, 18% as the modern standard, and 20% or more for excellent service. Many restaurants automatically add 18–20% gratuity for parties of six or more.
How do I calculate a 20% tip quickly in my head?
Take 10% by moving the decimal point one place left, then double it. On a $63 bill: 10% is $6.30, so 20% is $12.60.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Traditional etiquette says tip on the pre-tax subtotal, since tax isn't a service. In practice most people tip on the total, and the difference is small — about 40–80 cents on a $50 bill depending on your local tax rate.
Do I still tip if a service charge is already included?
If the bill shows an automatic service charge or gratuity (common for large groups and in many countries), an additional tip isn't expected. You can add a little extra for exceptional service, but it's optional.
What about tipping for delivery, bars, and other services?
Common US norms: food delivery 10–15% with a $3–5 minimum, bartenders $1–2 per drink or 15–20% of the tab, hairdressers 15–20%, and taxi or rideshare 10–15%.
