Quick steps
- Multiply the bill by the tip percentage to get the tip amount.
- Add the tip to the original bill for the total amount.
- Divide the total by the number of people if you are splitting it.
- Decide whether you are tipping on the pre-tax or post-tax amount first.
Manual example
If the bill is $64 and you want to leave 12%, the tip is $7.68. The total is $71.68. Split between two people, that becomes $35.84 each.
Where people usually get stuck
Tipping expectations vary by country, and some people tip on the pre-tax amount while others use the final bill.
- You want to compare several common tip rates quickly
- You need a clean rounded value for each person
- You want the tip, total, and split in one view
