A fair tip is between 20% of the pre-tax and 15% of the post tax.

So, when the crooks at city hall decide to grab MORE of your money, waitresses gets more too, eh?

Depends on the local tax rate. Well, with that formula, the waitress will always get less if you calculate it off the tax. The effective tax rates seem to run between 4% and a little over 9%.

A $10 tab at 4% tax would be 2.00 and 1.56; at 9% 2.00 and 1.64.
