Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I tip at a restaurant?
Standard restaurant tipping in the US is 15% for adequate service, 18–20% for good service, and 20–25%+ for exceptional service. In cities like New York, 20% is often considered the baseline.
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Tipping on the pre-tax total is technically correct, but tipping on the post-tax amount is common and simplifies the calculation. The difference is usually small — on a $100 pre-tax bill with 8% tax, it's only about $1.60 at 20%.
How much should I tip for food delivery?
For food delivery, 15–20% of the order total is standard, with a $3–5 minimum for small orders. For contactless delivery in bad weather or difficult conditions, 20–25% is considerate.
Do I have to tip if service was bad?
Tipping is discretionary but culturally expected in the US. If service was poor, many people still leave 10–15% as a baseline. For truly problematic service, speak with a manager — it's better to address the issue than simply leave no tip.
