Tip Chart: Tip Amounts by Bill
Use this tip chart to look up a tip without doing the math. Find your bill amount in the first column, then read across to compare 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, and 25%. Each figure is the tip amount only, not the bill plus tip.

How to Use the Tip Chart
Find the amount closest to your bill in the first column. Then choose your preferred percentage and read the tip amount in that column. Add the tip to your bill to get the amount before sales tax, or include any sales tax shown on your receipt to work out the final payment.
For example, an 18% tip on a $50 bill is $9.00. The bill plus tip is $59.00 before sales tax.
What If Your Bill Is Not Listed?
You can split an amount into two or more values shown in the chart and add the matching tip amounts. This works because the same percentage is applied to each part.
For example, a $70 bill at 20% can be worked out using the $50 and $20 rows. A 20% tip on $50 is $10.00, and a 20% tip on $20 is $4.00. Add them together for a $14.00 tip.
Does This Tip Chart Include Sales Tax?
No. For consistency, the chart applies each percentage to the bill amount before sales tax. If you prefer to calculate a percentage-based tip on a subtotal that includes tax, the tip will be higher. The difference depends on the bill, tax, and percentage.
Read our Pre-Tax vs. Post-Tax Tipping guide for a side-by-side example of both methods.
