In the United States, 15-20% is standard for sit-down restaurants. 15% is considered adequate, 18% is typical, and 20% or more is generous for excellent service. For buffets, 10% is common. For takeout, tipping is optional but 10% is appreciated.

For 10%, move the decimal point one place left (e.g., $85.00 → $8.50). For 20%, double that (→ $17.00). For 15%, find 10% and add half of it (→ $12.75). For 18%, find 20% and subtract a small amount.
