What's typical for a $100 bill
$100 is a group-dinner total — typically 3–4 people at a casual restaurant, or 2 at a nicer spot. Many US restaurants auto-add an 18% gratuity for parties of 6+, so check the bill before tipping again. A 20% tip on $100 = $20.00 (total $120.00); split 4 ways that's $30.00 per person.

Frequently asked
Common follow-ups on tipping $100.
20% is the standard US tip for the kind of service a $100 bill represents. That's $20.00 on top of the bill, for a total of $120.00.
Convention is to tip on the pre-tax subtotal — the price of the food and drinks, before sales tax is added. At higher bill totals (like $100) the difference is real: tipping on the post-tax amount can cost a few dollars more. Most people just tip on the post-tax total because it's easier; both are socially acceptable.
Always check the bottom of the bill before adding a tip — many restaurants auto-add an 18–20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more, and some add it on tabs over $70+ regardless of party size. If gratuity is already on the bill, tipping again is at your discretion (most people don't, unless service was exceptional).
At a 20% tip, the total is $120.00. Split 2 ways, each person owes $60.00. Split 4 ways: $30.00 per person.
10% of $100 = $10. Double that to get the 20% tip: $20.
No. US/Canada norms (15–22%) are the global high end. Most of Europe expects 5–10% and only when service is good. Japan typically does not tip at all (sometimes considered rude). UK and Australia: 10–12.5% at sit-down restaurants. Always check local convention before tipping abroad.
