Common Mistakes to Avoid
Calculating tip on the tax-included total
Fix: Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is standard, though many people tip on the full bill for simplicity. Either is acceptable, but be consistent and aware of which you are using.
Forgetting to split evenly when some ordered more
Fix: An even split is simplest but may be unfair if one person ordered significantly more. For uneven splits, calculate each person's share of the food first, then apply the tip proportionally.
Tipping too low for exceptional service or too high for poor service
Fix: 15-20% is standard for sit-down service in the US. Adjust within that range based on service quality, but remember that servers rely on tips for their income.
