How to Calculate a Tip
Calculating a tip is simple: multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage, then divide by 100. For example, a 15% tip on a $50 bill is $50 × 15 ÷ 100 = $7.50, making the total $57.50.
Quick Mental Math Trick
To calculate 10%, just move the decimal point one place to the left. For 20%, double that amount. For 15%, find 10% then add half of it. This makes it easy to estimate tips without a calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax amount?
It's generally recommended to tip on the pre-tax amount of the bill. However, tipping on the post-tax total is also common and perfectly acceptable — the difference is usually small.
How much should I tip for bad service?
Even for poor service, leaving 10% is customary in the US. If the service was truly terrible, speak with a manager. Keep in mind the server may be having a bad day or dealing with factors beyond their control.
Is it rude not to tip?
In the United States and Canada, not tipping at a sit-down restaurant is considered rude, as servers rely on tips as a significant part of their income. In countries like Japan, tipping can actually be seen as insulting.
How do I split a tip among a group?
The easiest method is to calculate the total (bill + tip) and divide equally among everyone. Use the split feature above to handle this automatically. For different meals at different prices, you can calculate individual tips based on each person's share.
Should I tip on a discounted or comped meal?
Yes — you should tip based on the original (full) price of the meal, not the discounted amount. The server provided the same level of service regardless of any discount.
