Tipping Guide

Tipping customs vary by country, restaurant, and type of service, but these percentages are commonly used:

• 10% – Basic or satisfactory service
• 15% – Standard service in many restaurants
• 18% – Good service
• 20% – Excellent service
• 25% or more – Exceptional service

Always check your receipt first, as some restaurants automatically include a service charge or gratuity for larger groups.

Tips for Better Results

• Check whether tax is included before calculating your tip.
• Look for an automatic service charge on the receipt to avoid tipping twice.
• When splitting the bill, confirm the number of people paying before calculating.
• If everyone ordered different amounts, you may wish to calculate individual shares separately.
• Round up your total if you'd like to leave a little extra for excellent service.
