How do you calculate a tip?
Multiply the pre-tax bill by the tip percentage. For 20%, move the decimal point one place left and double it: on an $80 meal, 10% is $8, so 20% is $16. For 15%, add half of the 10% figure: $8 + $4 = $12. To split, add the tip to the full bill (tax included) and divide by the number of people. An $86.40 bill with $6.40 tax and a 20% tip on the $80 subtotal comes to $102.40, or $51.20 each for two people.

How much to tip in the US: a quick guide
| Service | Typical tip |
|---|---|
| Sit-down restaurant | 15–20% of the pre-tax bill (20% for good service) |
| Food delivery | 15–20%, with a minimum of a few dollars |
| Bartender | $1–2 per drink, or 15–20% of the tab |
| Taxi or rideshare | 15–20% |
| Hair stylist or barber | 15–20% |
| Hotel housekeeping | A few dollars per night, left daily |
| Counter service / takeout | Optional; 10% or rounding up is common |
Outside the US, tipping customs vary widely. In much of Europe a service charge is often included and rounding up is enough, and in Japan tipping is generally not expected. Check whether “service” already appears on the bill before you add a tip.
