Tipping Guide by Service Type
Standard tipping rates vary by service type and region. In most US restaurants, 18–20% is standard for sit-down service. Tipping is optional for counter service but increasingly expected. For grouped bills, calculate the tip on the pre-tax subtotal — you don't need to tip on sales tax.
Restaurants
15% = minimum acceptable. 18–20% = standard. 20–25% = excellent service. Calculate on pre-tax amount.
Other Services
Hair/nails: 15–20%. Taxi/rideshare: 15–20%. Hotel housekeeping: $2–5/night. Delivery: 15–20% or $3–5 min.
Splitting Bills
Divide the check evenly, then apply tip to each share. Or calculate total tip on the full bill and divide that equally.
