How much should you tip?
In the United States, 15–20% is standard for table service, with 18% a common middle ground; counter service is often 0–10%. Many other countries include service in the bill or tip far less — check local custom when traveling.
Quick mental math: 10% is the bill with the decimal shifted left; 20% is that doubled; 15% is 10% plus half again.
