How to calculate a tip manually
A tip is simply a percentage of the bill. To find it by hand, convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply:
Tip = Bill × (Percentage ÷ 100)
Total = Bill + Tip
Worked example. On a $60 bill at 18%:
Tip — $60 × (18 ÷ 100)$10.80
Total — $60 + $10.80$70.80
Per person (split 2 ways)$35.40
A quick mental shortcut for 20%: move the decimal one place left to get 10% of the bill, then double it.
