How to work out a tip
- 1Enter the bill amount.
- 2Enter the tip percentage.
- 3Enter how many people are splitting it.
- 4Read the tip, the total and each person's share.
Tip formula
- 01Tip = bill × tip% ÷ 100
- 02Total = bill + tip
- 03Each person = total ÷ number of people
A tip is a percentage of the bill. Multiply the bill by the tip rate (for example 0.10 for 10%) to get the tip, then add it to the bill for the total. Dividing the total by the number of people gives each person's share.
Tipping customs vary: in Pakistan a tip (often called "service" or baksheesh) is appreciated but not fixed; many leave around 5–10% for good service, and some restaurants already add a service charge — check the bill so you don't tip twice.
Tip calculation example
A 10% tip on a 2,000 bill is 200.
That makes the total 2,200.
Good to know
- Check whether a service charge is already on the bill before adding a tip.
- To tip 10% quickly, drop the last digit of the bill; for 5%, halve that.
- Round the total to a convenient number to make paying easier.
