Total Bill = Bill + Tip Amount
Per Person = Total Bill ÷ Number of People
Example
Example: $85 bill, 18% tip, split between 2 people.
- Tip Amount: $85 × 18% = $15.30
- Total Bill: $85 + $15.30 = $100.30
- Per Person: $100.30 ÷ 2 = $50.15
Frequently Asked Questions
- Standard US restaurant tips: 15% for adequate service, 18–20% for good service, 25%+ for exceptional service. For buffets, 10% is acceptable. Counter service typically does not require a tip.
- Etiquette experts are divided, but most people tip on the pre-tax amount. However, the difference is usually small. On a $100 bill with 8% tax, the difference between tipping on pre-tax vs post-tax is about $1.60 at 20%.
- Typical US tipping rates: Hairdresser/barber: 15–20%, Food delivery: 15–20% (minimum $3), Taxi/rideshare: 15–20%, Hotel housekeeping: $2–5/night, Movers: $20–50 per mover.
- For 20%: move the decimal point one place left (10%) then double it. On an $85 bill: $8.50 × 2 = $17. For 15%: find 10% ($8.50) and add half ($4.25) = $12.75.
- If the bill already includes a service charge or gratuity (common for large parties, usually 18–20%), you are generally not expected to tip additionally. However, an extra tip for exceptional service is always appreciated.
