Tip Percentage Finder
Work out what percentage tip you left, or what a percentage tip comes to.
Tip percentages both ways
This works out tip percentages in either direction — what percentage a tip you left represents, or what a chosen percentage comes to on a bill. It is handy for checking a tip, or working one out on a total.
Enter the bill and tip to find the percentage, or the reverse.
Tipping, and the quick mental method
Tipping customs vary a lot by country, from expected and substantial in some places to unusual or built into the price in others, so what counts as a normal percentage depends entirely on where you are — this handles the arithmetic, but the right percentage is a matter of local custom. For working a tip out in your head, a handy trick is that ten percent is just moving the decimal point one place, and from there you can halve it for five percent or add for fifteen or twenty. Checking a tip after the fact, working backward from what you left, is useful for splitting bills or keeping track of spending. Whichever direction you need, the percentage makes a tip comparable across bills of different sizes.
