Calculate the tip directly
Twenty percent is 0.20 as a decimal. Multiplying $50 by 0.20 gives a $10 tip.
Use the calculator if you want another percentage or need to split the total among several people.
Check whether gratuity is already included
Some restaurants or group bills include a service charge or automatic gratuity. Check the bill before adding another tip.
