How much should I tip at a restaurant?

In the US, 15-20% is common for good service. In much of Europe, 5-10% or rounding up is typical. Always adjust for local custom and service quality.

Should I tip on the amount before or after tax?

In the US, tips are often calculated on the pre-tax check. Some people prefer post-tax. This calculator lets you choose either base.

Take 10% by moving the decimal one place left, then add half of that for another 5%. Together that is about 15%.

Tipping is appreciated though not legally required. About 5-10% in restaurants or rounding up the bill is common.

Roughly 10% is typical in restaurants. You often state the rounded total or say you want to tip ten percent when paying.

It is optional. For good service, 5-10% or rounding up is a kind gesture.
