In an era when consumers are increasingly asked if they want to tip when paying for goods or services , a recent survey has found that many American consumers still adhere to conventional wisdom when leaving a gratuity in restaurants . A YouGov survey released in June 2024 found that 62 percent of Americans tip between 15 and 20 percent when they dine out at a restaurant . Though 15 percent was long the standard when tipping at a restaurant , the YouGov survey indicates more diners are tipping at the higher end of the 15 to 20 percent range . Among survey respondents , 35 percent indicate they typically leave a tip of 20 percent , while 27 percent indicated they typically tip 15 percent . And 20 percent seems to be the best restaurant workers can expect , as the survey indicated only 4 percent of diners tip at 25 percent .
