In the United States, tipping your server is expected, but how much you should tip isn't always obvious. You want to show your appreciation, but you don't want to break the bank. How much is too little? And is there such a thing as too much? (Hint: Not if you ask your server!) We'll fill you in on the ins and outs of how much to tip, tipping etiquette, and tips for tipping abroad.

Things You Should Know

  • Tip at least 15% of the bill, as a general rule. Consider tipping 20-30% for great service.
  • Multiply your total by the decimal percentage of how much you wish to tip.
  • Familiarize yourself with local tipping practices if you're traveling outside the U.S.

Warnings

  • The US Government taxes servers, bartenders and baristas based upon an assumption that they made a certain percentage of their sales in tips. If you do not tip a server or a bartender in the US at all, you are technically costing your server money.
