How to Calculate a Tip

Calculating a tip is a straightforward multiplication. Multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage expressed as a decimal. A 20% tip on a $60 bill is $60 x 0.20 = $12. Add $12 to $60 and your total is $72.

If you want one step, multiply the bill by (1 + tip rate). For 20%, that is 1.20. So $60 x 1.20 = $72 gives you the full amount in one calculation.

Mental Math for Tipping

Find 10% first by moving the decimal point one place to the left. For a $45 bill, 10% is $4.50. Double it for 20% ($9.00). Add half of 10% to get 15% ($4.50 + $2.25 = $6.75).

Should You Tip Before or After Tax?

Tipping on the pre-tax subtotal is the traditional approach, since tax is not a service the server provides. Use the “Do not tip on tax” checkbox above and enter the tax amount to calculate gratuity only on the food and drink total.
