How to calculate a tip on a calculator

To calculate a gratuity or tip on any calculator it is a simple multiplication. In general, the tip amount is the cost times 0.xx, and your total including tip is the cost times 1.xx where xx = the percent you want to leave. If you want to leave a 20% tip, multiply the cost by 0.20 to get the tip amount or multiply the cost by 1.20 to get the total including tip. If you want to leave an 18% tip, multiply the cost by 0.18 to get the tip amount or multiply the cost by 1.18 to get the total including tip.

Let’s say you and a friend had dinner that cost $26.50. You had good service and want to leave an 18% gratuity. Put the percentage in decimal form (0.18) then multiply the cost by this number.

26.50 * 0.18 = 4.77. So your tip is $4.77.

An easy way to get the total amount, dinner plus tip, is to multiply the total by 1.18. 26.50 * 1.18 = 31.27. This works mathematically because you want to know your original cost plus the tip which is written as 26.50 + (26.50 * 0.18) =? Factoring out the 26.50 from this equation you get 26.50 * (1 + 0.18) = 26.50 * 1.18.
