Tip Calculator

How to calculate a tip?

Calculating a tip is straightforward: multiply your bill amount by the tip percentage, then divide by 100. For example, on a $60 restaurant bill at 20%, the tip is $12 and your total comes to $72. BehCalc does this instantly and also shows you a total rounded up and rounded down to the nearest dollar — so you always know the cleanest amount to write on the receipt line.

Should you tip before or after tax?

Most etiquette guides suggest tipping on the pre-tax amount, since tax isn't part of the service. In practice, most people tip on the post-tax total — the difference is small and it's simpler. Either way is fine.

Why round your tip?

Rounding your tip to a whole dollar total makes it easier to fill out a paper receipt quickly and avoids awkward change. BehCalc shows you both options — round up for a slightly more generous tip, round down to keep it conservative — so you can choose what feels right without doing the math yourself.
