Eighty dollars is a good dinner for two or a family meal out. The arithmetic is unusually friendly — $8 at 10%, $12 at 15%, $16 at 20% — so this is a bill people tend to tip accurately on.
| Tip percentage | Tip | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 10% | $8.00 | $88.00 |
| 12% | $9.60 | $89.60 |
| 15% | $12.00 | $92.00 |
| 18% | $14.40 | $94.40 |
| 20% | $16.00 | $96.00 |

| 25% | $20.00 | $100.00 |
Calculated on $80 before sales tax.
Splitting a $80 Bill
Two people at 20% pay $48 each; four pay $24 each; eight pay $12 each. Eighty divides evenly by two, four, five, eight, ten and sixteen.
| Split between | Each pays (18%) | Each pays (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 people | $47.20 | $48.00 |
| 3 people | $31.47 | $32.00 |
| 4 people | $23.60 | $24.00 |
| 5 people | $18.88 | $19.20 |
| 6 people | $15.73 | $16.00 |
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 $80 in Your Head
Move the decimal point one place left to get 10% of $80, which is $8.00. Everything else builds from that number: double it for 20% ($16.00), add half of it for 15% ($12.00), or take 20% and subtract a tenth for 18% ($14.40).
Ten percent is $8, and every other percentage follows from it. Even 18% is straightforward: $16 minus $1.60 gives $14.40.
The same shortcut works on any bill — the full method is explained here, and the tip chart covers the amounts either side of $80.
What to Leave on $80 by Service
The range on $80 is $12 to $20 — the point at which people start deciding rather than defaulting.
| Service | Percentage | Tip | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exceptional service | 25% | $20.00 | $100.00 |
| Good service | 20% | $16.00 | $96.00 |
| Standard service | 18% | $14.40 | $94.40 |
| The acceptable floor | 15% | $12.00 | $92.00 |
| Poor service | 10% | $8.00 | $88.00 |
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
$90 is 12.5% and $100 is 25%. There is no tidy total at 20%, which is $96.
| Rounding up to | That tip is | Which is |
|---|---|---|
| Round the total to $90 | $10.00 | 12.5% |
| Round the total to $100 | $20.00 | 25.0% |
Rounding is the whole convention outside the United States — see tipping around the world.
$80 Plus Sales Tax
Every figure above is calculated on $80 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 | $80.00 | $16.00 | $96.00 |
| 6% | $4.80 | $84.80 | $16.00 | $100.80 |
| 7% | $5.60 | $85.60 | $16.00 | $101.60 |
| 8% | $6.40 | $86.40 | $16.00 | $102.40 |
| 8.875% (New York City) | $7.10 | $87.10 | $16.00 | $103.10 |
| 10.25% (Chicago area) | $8.20 | $88.20 | $16.00 | $104.20 |
Tipping post-tax instead costs $1.28 more here, and is perfectly acceptable — tax and tip explains why card terminals do it that way.
