What wolfy described is basically how I tip, plus a little more. I look around me, judge the service and amount of people, and then judge the tip on that, not just the bill.
I've been to too many varying places where a percentage just doesn't work out fairly. I rarely get that much better treatment when the price of the meal goes up, so why should the tip go up?
I generally aim for $5-$10 tip and that amounts to about 15%+ for most of my meals.

Servers have to tip out based on their bill total, so yes, tipping based on the bill is very important

Tip outs must still be paid when servers don't get tipped, or earn less in tips than what they would have to contribute.

In a restaurant with a five per cent tip-out policy, a server still has to tip out $5 on every $100 tab.
