A young cousin of mine (too young to actually pick up a check) pointed out a particularly easy way of calculating the tip for those less mathematically inclined -- double the tax, round up. Of course, this works best for those of us living in high sales tax states. (Yee-ha!)
I always tip 20% on the subtotal (rather easy to calculate by moving a decimal point and doubling), unless I am really tired and/or the place is really dark and then I tip 20% on the total because it's easier to find.
