How to Calculate a Tip — the tip calculator formula
Every tip calculator app, however fancy, runs one simple formula:
Example: on a $85 restaurant bill at 20%, the tip is $17 and the total is $102. Split that tip calculator result between four friends and each person pays $25.50. To do it in your head, find 10% (move the decimal one place left) and build 15%, 18%, 20% or 25% from there — the full mental-math method is in our how to calculate a tip guide.
What's a good tip percentage? (tip chart by service)
A quick tip chart for the services people ask about most — the tip percentage calculator above works for every one of them:
| Service | Typical tip (USA) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant (table service) | 18–20% | 20–25% for excellent service |
| Delivery (Uber Eats, DoorDash) | 15–20% or $3–5 | More in bad weather or long distances |
| Uber / taxi rides | 15–20% | Rounding up is common for short rides |
| Hairdresser / barber | 15–20% | More around the holidays if you're a regular |
| Tattoo artist | 15–20% | Long custom sessions often merit more |
| Nail salon | 15–20% | 10% minimum for basic services |
| Hotel housekeeping | $2–5 / night | Leave daily — staff rotate |
Tipping around the world — travel tip calculator norms
Tipping culture changes the moment you cross a border, which is exactly what the travel tip calculator mode above handles. This is the tipping etiquette chart it uses (2026):
| Country | Typical restaurant tip | What travelers should know |
|---|---|---|
| USA | 18–22% | Tipping is expected; many service workers rely on it as core income |
| Canada | 15–20% | Similar to the US, slightly lower |
| Mexico | 10–15% | Appreciated and meaningful for workers |
| UK | 10–12.5% | Often already added as a "service charge" — check the bill first |
| Germany | 5–10% | Rounding up is usually enough |
| France | Minimal | Service is generally built into the price |
| India | 5–10% | Informal; rounding up is common. Skip it if a service charge is already added |
| Australia | Not expected | Optional, never required |
| Japan | Not customary | Can be seen as confusing or even rude — service is already included |
| Brazil | ~10% | Often already added as a service charge ("serviço") |
Travelling further? The same two rules work almost everywhere: check the bill for an included service charge, and when in doubt add 10% — nobody has ever been upset by a polite tip. Full country guide: Tipping Around the World.
