Tip Calculator

To calculate a tip manually: For a 20% tip, move the decimal point of your bill subtotal one place to the left (which gives you 10%) and double it. For example, 10% of $45.00 is $4.50, so a 20% tip is $9.00. For a 15% tip, find 10% by moving the decimal, halve that amount to find 5%, and add them together. For example, 10% of $45 is $4.50, and 5% is $2.25, making a 15% tip $6.75.

A gratuity calculator is a digital tool used to determine the additional service charge (tip) to leave for a server or service provider. It is commonly used in restaurants, bars, hair salons, hotels, and taxis to ensure fair compensation for service staff based on a percentage of the total bill.

Standard gratuity rates vary by service: 18% to 20% is standard for sit-down restaurant servers, 15% to 20% for hairdressers and barbers, 15% to 20% for food delivery drivers, and $2 to $5 per car retrieval for hotel valets.
