Quick Tipping FAQ
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
The standard tip in US restaurants is 15–20% of the pre-tax bill. 15% is acceptable, 18–20% is standard for good service, and 22–25% is for exceptional service.
Should I tip before or after tax?
Tip on the pre-tax amount. The tax is a government charge, not part of the service you received. Tipping on the post-tax total means you are paying a tip on the tax itself.
How do I split a bill with tip?
Add the tip to the total bill, then divide by the number of people. Use our bill splitting guide or the calculator above for instant results.
Is tipping mandatory in the US?
While not legally required, tipping is a strong social expectation. US servers often earn as low as $2.13/hour because tips are legally considered part of their wages.
