Is tipping 100% good?
Is tipping 100% good? If you're a server, it's always nice to get a generous tip — usually, it means that you provided exemplary service throughout the night. But you probably don't expect to get 100 percent (the norm is between 15 and 20 percent).
How much do you tip on $200?
Figuring out the tip If your total bill is $200 and you want to tip 15%, work out the tip by multiplying the total bill by 0.15. You can then add this amount to your bill when it comes to pay. Simple. Or alternatively, you can multiply the bill excluding service by 1.15 (assuming you want to leave that same 15% tip).
