How to Calculate a Tip
Calculating a tip is simple: multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage (as a decimal). For example, a 20% tip on a $50 bill is $50 × 0.20 = $10. When splitting the bill, divide the total (bill + tip) by the number of people.
Quick Mental Math Tips
- 10% tip: Move the decimal point one place to the left
- 15% tip: Calculate 10%, then add half of that
- 20% tip: Calculate 10%, then double it
- 25% tip: Divide the bill by 4
When to Tip More or Less
Consider tipping above 20% for exceptional service, large parties (some restaurants add 18% automatically for 6+ guests), or during holidays. It's acceptable to tip less (10-15%) for poor service, but consider speaking with a manager rather than reducing the tip for issues beyond the server's control.
