What percentage should I tip?
Tipping norms vary widely by country and by type of service, so there's no single universally "correct" percentage. In the United States, sit-down restaurant tips commonly range from 15% for adequate service up to 20-25% for excellent service, while some countries build service charges into the bill and tipping on top is uncommon or even discouraged.
| Service quality | Common US range |
|---|---|
| Below average | 10–12% |
| Average / adequate | 15% |
| Good | 18–20% |
| Excellent | 20–25% |
