Standard Gratuity Guidelines
While tipping is discretionary in many parts of the world, here are the standard guidelines commonly followed in North America:
- 15% (Acceptable) — Standard for satisfactory service.
- 18% (Good) — For great service.
- 20% (Exceptional) — For outstanding service.
- 22%–25% (Large Parties & Fine Dining) — Standard for larger groups and fine dining.
- 10%–15% (Buffets & Food Delivery) — Standard for buffet service, takeout, or delivery.
Tip on Pre-Tax vs. Post-Tax
Tipping etiquette can vary, but in most cases, tips are calculated on the pre-tax subtotal, as tax is a government assessment rather than part of the service charge.
Group Rounding Tips
If the total is close, it’s common to round up the tip to the nearest dollar or an even amount.
Split Bill Tips
When splitting a bill, divide both the subtotal and tip equally among all members of the group for fairness.
