If you do, you&#8217;ve gone too far. If you want to learn how to easily calculate a tip in your head, read on!<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to calculate the tip in your head instead of using our EZ Tip Calculator? While not as \u2018easy\u2019 it\u2019s not too difficult. To do this we are going to teach you the &#8216;moving the decimal&#8217; tip calculation method which we detail below.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that in our example that the bill amount was $20 and the percentage tip we wanted to leave was 15%? To use the &#8216;moving the decimal&#8217; method, we are going to break the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/hairdresser-tip-calculator\/\">tip calculation<\/a> into two parts.<\/p>\n<p>First, we will calculate what a 10% tip on $20 would be. You probably know that $20 can also be written as $20.0 or $20.00. Notice the decimal point? That\u2019s key to the \u2018moving the decimal\u2019 method of tip calculation. To find 10% of $20.0, we will move the decimal point one place to the left. This makes $20.0 into $2.00. Easy, right? If you wanted to leave a 10% tip, you have your answer! Tip $2.<\/p>\n<p>But remember that we wanted to tip 15%, not 10%. This is where the second part comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we will calculate the other 5% to answer the question of what a 15% tip should be. We know that a 10% tip on $20 is $2. How do you find the other 5%? What we will do is divide the $2 (the 10% tip amount that we already found) by 2. $2 divided by 2 is $1.00. This $1.00 represents the other 5% tip portion.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we know that 10% of $20 is $2 and 5% of $20 is $1 all we have to do is add the two together to calculate the 15% tip. $2 + $1 = $3. That means that a 15% tip on a $20 bill is $3.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it! You now know how to calculate a tip in your head.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to leave a 20% tip, you would just double the 10% tip amount that you found using the \u2018move the decimal method\u2019. It&#8217;s not too difficult once you get the hang of it!<\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-related-posts\">\n<strong>Related posts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/tip-calculator\/\">The Best Tip Calculator: Fast and Accurate (With Examples)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/uber-tip-calculator\/\">Uber Tip Calculator (Updated + How Much To Tip)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/hairdresser-tip-calculator\/\">Hairdresser Tip Calculator + How Much To Tip Hairdressers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/how-much-do-you-tip-for-a-15-haircut\/\">How Much Do You Tip For A $15 Haircut?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/catering-delivery-tip-calculator\/\">Catering Delivery Tip Calculator<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipwho.com\/article\/disney-cruise-tip-calculator\/\">The Best Disney Cruise Line Tip Calculator (Easy to Use)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3528,"template":"","article-category":[104],"article-tag":[1744,218,1767,115,107,49],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>EZ Tip Calculator<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Need an EZ Tip Calculator?
