What is a typical tip in the US?

Sit-down restaurants commonly tip 18–20%. Bars often round up to the nearest dollar per drink. Delivery is usually 10–15%, more in bad weather.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?

Pre-tax is technically correct, but most people tip on the total because it is faster and the difference is small.

It rounds the total bill up to the nearest whole dollar — handy for cash payments. The tip is recalculated to keep the math consistent.
