Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
Technically, tipping on the pre-tax amount is correct since you're tipping for service, not sales tax. However, tipping on the total is common and simpler.
What's a good tip for exceptional service?
For exceptional service in the US, 25-30% is generous. For standard good service, 18-20% is the norm. 15% indicates adequate but unremarkable service.
