Tipping Etiquette Guide
Tipping is a standard practice in the service industry. While voluntary, it is expected as it often makes up a significant portion of a server's income.
Standard Tipping Rates
| Service Type | Standard Tip | Excellent Service |
|---|---|---|
| Sit-down Restaurant | 15-18% | 20-25% |
| Food Delivery | 10-15% | 20% |
| Bartender | $1 per drink | 20% of tab |
| Taxi / Rideshare | 10-15% | 20% |
How to Calculate a 15% Tip
- Move the decimal point of your bill one place to the left to find 10% (e.g., $40.00 becomes $4.00).
- Halve that number to find 5% (e.g., half of $4.00 is $2.00).
- Add the 10% and 5% amounts together (e.g., $4.00 + $2.00 = $6.00).
Tipping FAQs
Should I tip on tax?
Etiquette suggests calculating the tip based on the pre-tax subtotal, but many people tip on the final total for simplicity.
What is a split bill?
Splitting the bill divides the total cost (including tip) equally among the number of people in your party.
