Splitting a $300 Bill
Six people at 20% pay $60 each; four pay $90 each; five pay $72 each. Three hundred divides evenly across almost any realistic group size.
| Split between | Each pays (18%) | Each pays (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 people | $177.00 | $180.00 |
| 3 people | $118.00 | $120.00 |
| 4 people | $88.50 | $90.00 |
| 5 people | $70.80 | $72.00 |
| 6 people | $59.00 | $60.00 |
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 $300 in Your Head
Move the decimal point one place left to get 10% of $300, which is $30.00. Everything else builds from that number: double it for 20% ($60.00), add half of it for 15% ($45.00), or take 20% and subtract a tenth for 18% ($54.00).
Ten percent of $300 is $30. Double it for $60 at 20%, or add half again for $45 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 $300.
What to Leave on $300 by Service
The range from 15% to 25% is $45 to $75 — thirty dollars apart, real money by any measure.
| Service | Percentage | Tip | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exceptional service | 25% | $75.00 | $375.00 |
| Good service | 20% | $60.00 | $360.00 |
| Standard service | 18% | $54.00 | $354.00 |
| The acceptable floor | 15% | $45.00 | $345.00 |
| Poor service | 10% | $30.00 | $330.00 |
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
$360 is exactly 20%. Bills this size are the most likely on this whole list to already carry a service charge, so check before adding anything.
| Rounding up to | That tip is | Which is |
|---|---|---|
| Round the total to $325 | $25.00 | 8.3% |
| Round the total to $350 | $50.00 | 16.7% |
| Round the total to $375 | $75.00 | 25.0% |

$300 Plus Sales Tax
Every figure above is calculated on $300 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 | $300.00 | $60.00 | $360.00 |
| 6% | $18.00 | $318.00 | $60.00 | $378.00 |
| 7% | $21.00 | $321.00 | $60.00 | $381.00 |
| 8% | $24.00 | $324.00 | $60.00 | $384.00 |
| 8.875% (New York City) | $26.62 | $326.62 | $60.00 | $386.62 |
| 10.25% (Chicago area) | $30.75 | $330.75 | $60.00 | $390.75 |
Tipping post-tax instead costs $4.80 more here, and is perfectly acceptable — tax and tip explains why card terminals do it that way.
