How to Calculate a Tip
To calculate a tip, multiply the bill amount by the tip percentage. For example, a 15% tip on a £50 bill: £50 × 0.15 = £7.50. The total bill would be £57.50.
Splitting the Bill
When splitting between multiple people, divide the total (bill + tip) by the number of people. This ensures everyone pays their fair share including the tip.
UK Tipping Etiquette
