Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip on the total bill or subtotal?
It's generally recommended to tip on the subtotal (before tax). However, some people prefer to tip on the total amount including tax. The choice is yours, but tipping on the pre-tax amount is more common.
Is 15% still an acceptable tip?
Yes, 15% is still considered acceptable for adequate service, though 18-20% has become more standard for good to excellent service. The appropriate tip percentage can vary by region and type of establishment.
Should I tip more for large groups?
Many restaurants automatically add gratuity (usually 18-20%) for parties of 6 or more. If not automatically included, it's considerate to tip at the higher end (20%+) for large groups as they require more service coordination.
