Tipping Etiquette by Country
Tipping customs vary widely around the world. In the US, 15-20% is standard for restaurants. In Europe, 5-10% is common, and many countries include service charges in the bill. In Japan, tipping is considered rude. When splitting a bill, round up individual amounts to keep things simple. For large groups, check if the restaurant already adds an automatic gratuity (often 18% for parties of 6+).

Frequently Asked Questions
- In the United States, 15-20% of the pre-tax bill is standard for sit-down restaurants. For exceptional service, 20-25% is appropriate. In Europe, 5-10% is common, while many Asian countries do not have a tipping culture.
- Traditionally, tips are calculated on the pre-tax subtotal. However, many people calculate on the total including tax for simplicity. The difference is usually small — on a $50 bill with 8% tax, tipping 20% pre-tax is $10.00 versus $10.80 post-tax.
