Splitting a $150 Bill
Two people at 20% pay $90 each; three pay $60; five pay $36; six pay $30. It divides evenly by two, three, five, six and ten.
| Split between | Each pays (18%) | Each pays (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 people | $88.50 | $90.00 |
| 3 people | $59.00 | $60.00 |
| 4 people | $44.25 | $45.00 |
| 5 people | $35.40 | $36.00 |
| 6 people | $29.50 | $30.00 |
Always add the tip to the full bill first and divide afterwards. Splitting first and letting everyone round their own share up leaves the server short — the main calculator handles this correctly.
Working Out $150 in Your Head
Move the decimal point one place left to get 10% of $150, which is $15.00. Everything else builds from that number: double it for 20% ($30.00), add half of it for 15% ($22.50), or take 20% and subtract a tenth for 18% ($27.00).
One hundred and fifty is one and a half hundreds, so 20% is one and a half twenties — $30. The same shortcut gives $22.50 at 15%.
The same shortcut works on any bill — the full method is explained here, and the tip chart covers the amounts either side of $150.
What to Leave on $150 by Service
A hundred and fifty is often a table of four or more, which is exactly where restaurants start adding an automatic gratuity — check before choosing a percentage.
| Service | Percentage | Tip | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exceptional service | 25% | $37.50 | $187.50 |
| Good service | 20% | $30.00 | $180.00 |
| Standard service | 18% | $27.00 | $177.00 |
| The acceptable floor | 15% | $22.50 | $172.50 |
| Poor service | 10% | $15.00 | $165.00 |
Below 15% reads as a deliberate comment rather than a small tip, so it is worth speaking to the manager as well. The average tip percentage guide covers where these ranges came from.
Rounding the Total Up Instead
$180 is exactly 20% on $150. If the bill already carries a service charge, none of these apply.
| Rounding up to | That tip is | Which is |
|---|---|---|
| Round the total to $170 | $20.00 | 13.3% |
| Round the total to $180 | $30.00 | 20.0% |
| Round the total to $190 | $40.00 | 26.7% |

$150 Plus Sales Tax
Every figure above is calculated on $150 before sales tax, which is the US convention. What the bill actually comes to depends on where you are — these are the totals at the rates you are most likely to meet.
| Sales tax rate | Tax | Bill with tax | 20% tip (pre-tax) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No sales tax (OR, MT, NH, DE) | $0.00 | $150.00 | $30.00 | $180.00 |
| 6% | $9.00 | $159.00 | $30.00 | $189.00 |
| 7% | $10.50 | $160.50 | $30.00 | $190.50 |
| 8% | $12.00 | $162.00 | $30.00 | $192.00 |
| 8.875% (New York City) | $13.31 | $163.31 | $30.00 | $193.31 |
| 10.25% (Chicago area) | $15.38 | $165.38 | $30.00 | $195.38 |
Tipping post-tax instead costs $2.40 more here, and is perfectly acceptable — tax and tip explains why card terminals do it that way.
