How to use a tip chart
Find the bill
Choose the nearest row to your pre-tax or post-tax tip base.
Choose the rate
Read the tip amount under the percentage you intend to use.
Add the total
The smaller line in each cell shows the bill plus that tip.
A chart is a fast reference. Use the main Tip Calculator when tax, service fees, included gratuity, splitting or rounding affect the result.
Common mental anchors

Frequently asked questions
Can I print this tip chart?
Yes. Use Print to create a paper or PDF reference. Interactive controls and navigation are hidden in print styles.
Does each chart cell show the tip or the final total?
Each cell shows the tip first and the bill-plus-tip total underneath.
Can I add a custom percentage?
Yes. Enter the custom rate and keep the Custom checkbox selected.
Should the bill rows be pre-tax or after tax?
That depends on the tip base you choose. Use the dedicated pre-tax versus post-tax guide to compare both.
Why not create a page for every bill amount?
A configurable chart and calculator satisfy those calculations without producing hundreds of thin amount-specific pages.
Methodology and sources
The chart applies the standard percentage formula to each selected bill amount. It is intentionally generated in the browser so one reference page can cover many amounts without separate thin URLs.
