Tipping Etiquette in 2026
Standard restaurant tip: 18-20% for good service, 15% for adequate, 25%+ for exceptional. The base for calculating tip should be the pre-tax subtotal. For large groups (6+), many restaurants add an automatic 18-20% gratuity.
When and How Much to Tip
Restaurants: 18-20%. Bars: $1-2 per drink or 18-20% of tab. Delivery: 15-20% (minimum $3-5). Hair/salon: 15-20%. Rideshare: $2-5 or 15-20%. Hotel housekeeping: $3-5/night. Under the OBBBA, tip income up to $25,000 is now deductible for service workers — tipping directly supports workers' financial wellbeing.
Under the OBBBA, servers can deduct up to $25,000 in tip income from their federal taxes. A server earning $20,000 in tips saves $2,400-4,400 in federal tax depending on their bracket — the largest tip-related tax benefit in US history.
