Tipping Etiquette Guide
Tipping expectations vary wildly depending on the service and the region. In North America, these are the standard baseline rules:
Should I Tip on the Pre-Tax or Post-Tax Amount?
Proper etiquette dictates that you should tip on the pre-tax subtotal. You are tipping the server for their labor based on the cost of the food and drinks they provided, not on the government's sales tax. However, many people find it easier to just tip on the final number at the bottom of the receipt. Our calculator supports both methods—just use the "Tip on Post-Tax Total" toggle in the advanced options.
