Tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?

Etiquette guides in the US generally recommend tipping on the pre-tax subtotal, since tax isn't part of the service being tipped. Tipping on the post-tax total effectively tips extra on money that went to the government, not the server. In practice, most people round to a number they're comfortable with and don't split the difference this finely, but if a group specifically wants to be precise, pre-tax is the more defensible baseline.

Frequently asked questions

What's a standard tip percentage in the US?

15–20% is typical for full-service dining; 20% has become the more common default in recent years, with some venues now defaulting POS suggestions even higher.

How does an uneven split work if people ordered very differently?

Use the per-item mode if available, or manually adjust each person's share. An even split only makes sense when everyone ordered roughly the same amount.

Should I tip on delivery and takeout the same as dine-in?

Convention differs. Delivery is generally tipped similarly to dine-in (10–20%) given the driver's time and vehicle cost, while takeout tipping is more optional and typically lower (0–10%), since less service is provided.
