For this example, I’ll tip at 20 percent…
The easiest way to calculate this is to double the number before the decimal.
Let’s say your bill is $53.75. Round up to $54. Double it to get $108.
Move the decimal point one place to the left and we’re at $10.80 - which is 20 percent of your bill.
There’s another shortcut you can use - double the tax.
Back to your $53.75. Say the tax on the whole meal is $4.77. Round up to $5. Double the tax to get $10 - this is about a 19% tip.
The only thing to watch out for with this method, is rates can vary across the country, so double check if you're worried about under tipping.
