How it works

  • Tip = bill × percentage ÷ 100; total = bill + tip.
  • 15–20% is customary in the United States for table service.
  • Quick mental check: 10% is the bill with the decimal point moved one place left; halve that for 5%.
  • In most of Europe a service charge is often included — rounding up is normal.

Worked example: 18% on a $85 bill split 4 ways

  1. 1Tip: 85 × 0.18 = 15.30.
  2. 2Total: 85 + 15.30 = 100.30.
  3. 3Per person: 100.30 ÷ 4 = 25.08.

Tip $15.30 · Total $100.30 · $25.08 each

Tip amounts by bill size

$40$6.00$7.20$8.00
$60$9.00$10.80$12.00
$85$12.75$15.30$17.00
$120$18.00$21.60$24.00
$200$30.00$36.00$40.00

Amounts are the tip only — add them to the bill for the total.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I tip?

In the US, 15% is standard, 18–20% for good service. In much of Europe, 5–10% or rounding up is normal, and in Japan tipping is not expected.

Do I tip on the pre-tax or post-tax total?

Either is accepted. Tipping on the pre-tax amount is technically correct; many people simply use the final total for speed.

How much is a 20% tip on $50?

$10, making the total $50. Twenty percent is simply a tenth of the bill doubled.

How do I split a bill unevenly?

Work out the tip on the full bill first, then have each person pay their own items plus the same percentage on top of what they ordered.

Should I tip on delivery or takeaway?

Delivery drivers are usually tipped 10–15% or a few dollars minimum. For counter takeaway a tip is optional, and many people round up instead.
