At restaurants, do you calculate the tip before or after taxes?

Always before taxes. You do not tip on government taxes.
You figure out the tip before taxes.
before taxes
i tip according to the entire total, but there are no taxes in delaware. the taxes can't be much i usually do 20% or more so i'd just count them in too.
I always do a pre-tax calculation, not sure if that is right or not!

My reasoning is that they should get 20% of the bill & the goverment is adding a certain percentage on top of that (in ct 6%) so why should I pay even more?

Good Luck
I always calculate the tip based on the full bill (including taxes).

My tip calculations are based on the 'service scale' below:

0%=bad
10% or less=lacking
15%=normal service
20%=Better than expected
25%+ = Exceptional


Hope this helps!
A quick and easy way to figure out the tip is $1 for every $10 spent. $1 for up to $10, $2 for $10 to $20, $3 for $20 to $30, etc.
there is no sales tax in Oregon where I live so the tax part doesnt apply to me.
