About Gratuity

Gratuity is a sum of money customarily given to certain service workers for service performed. It acknowledges excellent service and is an important part of income for many service professionals.

Standard Gratuity Percentages
  • Excellent Service: 20-25% of the bill subtotal
  • Good Service: 15-20% of the bill subtotal
  • Average Service: 15% of the bill subtotal
  • Fair Service: 10% of the bill subtotal
  • Poor Service: 0-10% of the bill subtotal
Pre-Tax vs. Post-Tax

There's ongoing debate about whether gratuity should be calculated on the pre-tax or post-tax amount. Either approach is acceptable, though calculating on the pre-tax amount is more traditional.

Automatic Gratuity

Some establishments may add an automatic gratuity (typically 15-20%) for large parties, usually 6 or more guests. This is noted on the bill and additional tipping is optional.
