How is the tip calculated?

Tip amount = Bill ร— (Tip % รท 100)

Total = Bill + Tip amount

Per person = Total รท Number of people

Typical tip ranges

  • 10 % โ€” minimum / poor service
  • 15 % โ€” standard / good service
  • 18โ€“20 % โ€” great service
  • 25 %+ โ€” exceptional service

How to Calculate a Tip

To work out a tip by hand, multiply the bill by the tip percentage and divide by 100.

Example: Bill = $120.80, Tip = 15 %, 4 people

Tip amount = 120.80 ร— 0.15 = $18.12

Total = 120.80 + 18.12 = $138.92

Per person = 138.92 รท 4 = $34.73

A useful mental shortcut: move the decimal point one place left to get 10 %, then double it for 20 %, or add half again for 15 %.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I tip at a restaurant?

A standard tip in the US and Canada is 15โ€“20 % of the pre-tax bill. For great service, 20โ€“25 % is common. In many other countries, 10 % or simply rounding up is the norm.

Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?

Most people tip on the pre-tax subtotal, but tipping on the final total is also acceptable and simplifies the calculation.

What is a tip on a $50 bill at 20 %?

20 % of $50 is $10, making your total $60. If you split it between 2 people, each person pays $30.

Is the tip calculated before or after a discount?

It depends on personal preference and local custom. Many people tip on the original bill before any coupons or discounts are applied, as the server's effort was the same.

How do I split the bill unevenly?

This calculator splits the total evenly. For uneven splits, calculate each person's share of the bill separately and apply the same tip percentage to each share.

Do I need to tip if a service charge is included?

If a service charge is already on the bill, an additional tip is optional. Check whether the charge goes directly to the staff; in some countries it goes to the business owner instead.
