Here's a trick for computing a 15% tip in your head. Start by calculating 10% of the bill and then add half. For example, if the bill is $24 dollars, a 15% tip would be $2.40 (10%) plus $1.20 (half of 15%), for a total of $3.60.

My tip calculation trick is to just double the first number. This seems to work out in most cases. For the example of $24.00, I would tip $4.00 which would be 16.66%. At the high end, a 29.00 bill would be 13.79%, still pretty close.
hi, i was wondering where to get one of those tip cards. thank you. della
I've done the same thing, make the bill 10% and add half. Goes for shopping sales too. Sometimes my friends can't figure out how I do it, sometimes I can't figure out how they can't!
I would like to get one of those tip cards too. Would anyone know where to find one?
I did a Google search "wallet size tip chart" and see a few places, one is Amazon for about $5.50
The way I have always calculated tipping is; take the total..
double the first digit and add one.
example...The bill comes to $37.00..Double the 3 = 6 + 1 = $7.00
$37.00 Bill will get Approx. 20% tip. I give 20% for moderate to good service! 20% is the recommended tip.
The tip cards should be available at Borders or any larger book store.
