Tipping Guidelines

Standard Tip Rates

Restaurant: 15-20% (or more for exceptional service)
Delivery: 15-20% or minimum \-5
Hair/Spa: 15-25% of service cost
Bartender: \-2 per drink or 15-20% of tab

Quick Mental Math

For 20%, move decimal one place left and double. For 15%, calculate 10% and add half of that. For splitting bills, divide total by number of people first, then each person tips on their share. Many calculators also help split tips among service staff fairly.

100 Multiplication Questions — how to Calculate Tips

What is a Tip (Gratuity)?

A tip or gratuity is an extra sum of money given to certain service workers for a job well done. It is most common in restaurants, bars, and for delivery drivers. Tipping is a way to directly reward good service and is an important part of the income for many service professionals.

The Formulas

Tip & Total Bill

Tip Amount = Bill Amount × (Tip% / 100)
Total Bill = Bill Amount + Tip Amount
Per Person = Total Bill / Number of People

Step-by-Step Example

Problem: Your bill is $60, you want to tip 20%, and split it between 2 people.

Given:
Bill = $60, Tip = 20%, People = 2

Step 1: Find the tip amount
$60 × 0.20 = $12

Step 2: Find the total bill
$60 + $12 = $72

Step 3: Split between two people
$72 / 2 = $36

Tipping Etiquette Guide

15%: Economy/Standard. For acceptable service where everything went as expected.
18-20%: The New Standard. The expected tip for good service in most US cities.
22%+: Exceptional Service. For servers who went above and beyond to make your experience special.
10% or Less: Below Average. Only for significantly poor service, and usually accompanied by a talk with the manager.

🎯 Pro Tipping Tips

Tip on Pre-Tax: To be precise, calculate your tip on the bill total before sales tax is added. However, tipping on the post-tax total is a nice gesture.
"Double the Tax": In some cities (like NYC), doubling the 8.875% sales tax is a quick shortcut to a ~18% tip.
Check for "Gratuity": Some restaurants automatically add a 18-20% service charge for large parties. Check your bill so you don't tip twice!
Cash is King: While adding service to a card is convenient, servers often prefer cash tips as they receive them immediately.

Common mistakes: re-check that each form field matches the problem (rate vs base, part vs whole) before you compare to the worked example. Work through the worked example below with the same numbers you typed in the calculator — the final value should match within normal rounding.

How to verify: For tip calculator, plug your result into the inverse of the formula above or compare against the worked example with the same inputs.

Pre-tax vs post-tax: Confirm whether your venue expects tipping on the subtotal before sales tax.
Auto-gratuity: Large parties may already include a service charge—do not tip twice.
Split checks: When dividing a bill, tip on each diner's share, not an arbitrary subtotal.
