Frequently asked questions
What is a standard tip?
In the US, 15–20% is customary for table service, 20%+ for excellent service. Many other countries include service in the price or expect around 10%.
Should the tip be calculated before or after tax?
Traditionally on the pre-tax amount. If you tip on the post-tax total, the effective tip is slightly higher — the difference is small either way.
