How much to tip in the US
At sit-down restaurants, 15–20% of the bill is the norm, with 18–20% now the most common range for good service. Bartenders are usually tipped $1–2 per drink or 15–20% of the tab, and food delivery drivers 15–20% with a few dollars as a minimum.
Etiquette guides base the tip on the pre-tax subtotal, though many people simply tip on the total. On a $60 meal with 8% tax, the difference at 20% is under a dollar.
Quick mental math
Move the decimal point one place left for 10%: $47.50 becomes $4.75. Double it for 20% ($9.50). For 15%, add half of the 10% figure to itself ($4.75 + $2.38 = $7.13).
Outside the US
Tipping customs vary widely. In much of Europe a service charge is already included and rounding up or leaving 5–10% is plenty; in Japan tipping is generally not expected. Check the bill for a service charge before adding a tip.
Questions people ask

How much is an 18% tip on $60?

Do you tip before or after tax?
Traditionally on the pre-tax subtotal, since tax is not part of the service. Tipping on the after-tax total is also common and only slightly more generous.
How do I calculate a 15% tip quickly?
Take 10% by moving the decimal point, then add half of that again. On $40: $4 + $2 = $6.
