How to Calculate a Tip

Calculating a tip is simple: multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage, then divide by 100. For a $50 bill with a 20% tip: $50 × 20 ÷ 100 = $10 tip.

Standard Tip Percentages

  • 15% - Acceptable for adequate service
  • 18% - Good for good service
  • 20% - Standard for great service
  • 25%+ - For exceptional service

For 15%: Calculate 10%, then add half. $4.50 + $2.25 = $6.75
