How much should I tip at a restaurant in the US?
The standard tip at a US restaurant is 15–20% of the pre-tax bill. 18% is a common baseline for good service, 20% for great service, and 25% for exceptional service. Tipping below 15% is considered poor in the US restaurant industry where staff rely heavily on tips as part of their income.
Do you tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Either is acceptable. Some people tip on the pre-tax amount, others on the total. The difference on a typical restaurant bill is small — on a $80 bill with 8% tax, tipping 20% on pre-tax gives $16 vs $17.28 on the post-tax total.

- Should you tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
- Either is acceptable in the US. Most people tip on the pre-tax amount, as the service charge should arguably relate to the food and service rather than the government's tax. On a typical restaurant bill the difference is small — on an $80 pre-tax bill with 8% tax, 20% on pre-tax gives $16 tip versus $17.28 on the post-tax total.
